Default Imagine trying to diagnose this problem....

Full tank of gas, new carbs, fuel pump and fuel lines and still no gas to the engine.

Those would be the hypothetical symptoms.

This would be the cause...

I found this in my drawer of old fittings. It is the primary "T" fitting for a 426 Hemi fuel line setup (6-Packs used a similar one and I think Chevys did too).

The bottom outlet is drilled through properly:



The exit outlet is drilled through properly:



But the inlet in not drilled and is solid brass:




Looks like a factory practical joke played on some poor bastard like us who ends up buying that repro fuel line.

Let that be a lesson to you all: Always check the stupid simple stuff first.

Now, whose car can we install this on that would appreciate the practical joke????
