1986 k10 stopped running after I hit a pot hole

[Les]

Hello...I just bought a 1986 checy k10 with 133k miles from the original owner.
I replaced the distributor plugs and wires. It was running great for about two weeks.
Yesterday I hit a pot holes and the truck sputtered and went dead. It turns over and will run if I pour gas directly into it. It has dual tanks and both tanks have gas in them.
i was thinking it might be the fuel pump relay but I can not find the relay?
Any other ideas would sure be appreciated.

Thanks, Les

86 is carb'd. It has a mechanical pump. Obviously if you can get it to run by forcing it gas it's a fuel delivery issue. Give your lines a quick check, maybe one cracked or split or just fell off. Stranger things have happened. If that doesnt turn anything up make up a line to feed the fuel pump straight from a jerry can or other container, make sure it doesnt suck air. If it runs, then something got shook loose and your lines and/or filter is filled with trash. If it doesn't run, your fuel pump bit the bullet. If that fails to be the case it's carb related. I'm assuming it's a Rochester? I've never seen one of those get that far out of whack from a bump. But again stranger things have happened.

Could have broken a float or whatever in the carb. Like you said, stranger stuff has happened.
