All you have to do is make sure

that you have fuel in the fuel filter, i dont know if you went thru the side, the top, or the bottom (i went all three ways with mine) to put the pump in, But all i did was prime this truck until the button got harder to push and i made sure that it had fuel in the actual fuel filter, and when i went to start it up, i gave it some throttle till it quit running rough, and that was it...

There is a air bleed screw on top of the outlet line from the fuel filter (the one towards the front) takes a 10mm wrench. Only needs to be unscrewed a couple of turns, not removed.
