I have a facet low pressure pump from napa. It cost me $45 4 years ago so im guessing its about $60 in todays dollars. Go get one. I was one of Jeremy's first customers and noticed the pump took a little bit of help from the low pressure pump until it would pump anything from 2 of the 4 delivery valves. After that issue was squared away I noticed my car was close to impossible to start. I found out he accidentally flipped the orientation of the pump internals. I had to purchase an old style pump pulley from ebay to retime my pump by flipping the new pulley 180 degrees. Now I can bet dollars to doughnuts that because jeremy built this pump after mine that your pump is NOT 180 degrees out.
if his pump is 180* out, he did it, not Jeremy..

UIf the lift pump doesn't do it, increase cranking speed via tow chain to get things moving...

Exactly that. If your starter cranks at 400RPM engine, that's only 200 at the pump.
Behind a tow car, you can easily get 2-3000RPM engine speed in 2nd or 3rd. That will greatly increase the vanes urge to sling out into position, and overcome many a pumping deficiency.
If you don't want it to start, just leave the pipe to injector nuts loose. You are winning when all injectors are wet with fuel.

I pulled off the t belt again and tried using a drill to spin the pump but it didn't have the balls to turn it. I used a ratchet to spin in as as as i could as i could see the fuel level in the line move so i guess the vanes are doing something. it wasn't pulling fuel in but it ws moving nothing is still coming from outbound line or delivery valves.. I think the problem is wit the delivery valves thats the only thing that has been changed on the pump. Im giving up and putting the eco pump back in i need a car.

spun the pump with WOT and saw fuel physically dribbling out of bottom two delivery valves for sure. might the tops be stuck?

Interesting.. If it has sat in ATF for this long it should be groovy in there.. but still 2 of them having fuel should have been enough to get some smoke from the tailpipe.

And you are absolutely sure the valve timing is correct?

AS far as i can tell it is, Is the duck noise a bad sign?
