It is a m39 series with the 211 series Tms (tm9-2320-211- 10, 20, 20p, ect), does it have a gasser or multi in it, if a multi, it would have been rebuilt as a m62a2

take off the top screw on the filter toward the firewall and bleed all the air there first with the in tank pump running. If no fuel there, then the pump does not run. If you get fuel out of that place, then try cracking an injector and crank then engine over to see if you can get fuel out.

The bottom of those pumps are prone to fall off. It will make noise but not pump fuel when that happens. Pull your pump.

Now is a good time to start shopping for a replacement tank and pump. These that you have may last a while or may not. Rust never sleeps, time to start shaking the tree.
