Ok thanks guys

Thanx for the tip guys i took carb top off days ago when suspected it being dirty and yes i tested the fuel pump by running main feed into red gas tank and return into clear bottle and truck started thats when i figured out that it had to be gas lines or sending unit i checked my lines they were bad i got new ones on nowi primed carb with gas but it wont start so i unplugged that vented line and hooked everything back the right way except for vent actually going to air system since im not running that anymore so the vent line is just vented to atmosphere in back of truck so since the only left to replace would be the sending unit can i go with a 2 outlet unit instead of a 3 outlet and if i have to run a vented gas cap?

Damn your posts are hard to read without getting pissed!
No, you need the 3 port sender. for that vent tube, hook it back up, you should not let it vent to the atmosphere.
Look at the line that the sock came off of, are there any holes in it?
yourntruck my have ran before, because the fuel level was high enough to prevent sucking air, which i am thinking its doing now, if there is a hole in it.
