Paul -- A possibly easier way to do this test would be to loosen the
glass bowl and see if fuel leaks out, but...
1. 3 Gallons might not be enough to put the tank level above the fuel
pump so a 'no gas' result may be inconclusive.
2. I have never heard that the pump from the 6-cylionder engine would
work on a 4-cylinder. Mebbe so but the fact that it bolts up okay isn't
everything, that lever from the pump has to engage lobe properly.
3. Sounds like the pump you have has a priming lever? In which case it
is most likely old and thus may be in need of a fresh diaphragm.
