cut the new one apart this one and see what's inside. your situation sounds very much like fuel starvation.

i was just looking back at the pics, good eye on the pete.

the electric fuel pump did sound strange last week. i guess i will start with the gauge again and another filter.

The cold start problem could have been a fuel gelling issue. It is possible that could have hurt your electric pump. Check for pressure and flow.

Check the fuel pressure at the filter first. If your using a Holley Red it may have crapped the bed... You did say it sounded wierd last week... Thats a sign the motor is giving up... I know my red gave up that way with plenty of fuel in the tanks too... Replace it with a Carrier pump... They run forever on the semi refers...

filter is before the pump. pressure was 5 or 6 psi on sunday when it sounded wierd. mine is a carter. now i need to look up a carrier pump. do you have a part number? a lot of little things started when it got cold, batteries are going, this whole starting thing, and now it dieing after a half an hour on the road

Really, before the pump? For most of us, the pump is before the filter.

At least it was a dignified tow. It could have been a Dodge.
