    You need to ask your mechanic what he did when he converted to a fuel pump.  If he didn’t take the valves out, the fuel pump won’t work.

    It looks like the pulse line goes to the original pressure tank air outlet at the front of the block.  He should have drilled and tapped one of the bypass covers, installed a hose fitting, and used that for the pulse line to the pump.
