    The pump runs when cranking. No fuel is getting to the fuel distributor.

    Do fuel filters block completely? Is the filter located under the car?

    At this stage, I have removed the pump and emptied out the fuel tank.
    I have seen one fuel filter in the D completely blocked. Measured 0 PSI at the FD with the pump running.

    Yes. Here is a picture showing where it is. Even if it is not partially/fully blocked, I think it is good practice to change it anyway in this situation, (part # 100523, $17.58 )
