Well, it was a nice day to drive my '59 Bugeye yesterday, but I pushed it too 
far and ran out of gas when I was on my way to fill up.  I put in a gallon 
plus, but couldn't get it to start.  I'm aware that a previous owner put an 
electric fuel pump in, but I only know that from the clicking I can hear when I 
turn on the ignition, as I've never explored looking at it.  When I put gas in 
and turned the key, I don't hear the familiar clicking, and it seems clear the 
engine isn't getting gas.  Is there something I need to do to prime the pump?  
Or, as I fear, did I kill the pump by running it dry?
Thanks for any help!  It's another nice day, and we won't have many more!
Pete
