The needle and seat have dirt stuck between them, the needle and seat are worn out, the float is not adjusted properly or stuck, the float has failed (no longer has buoyancy), excess fuel pressure,

I just installed a 5.7 gmc engine do i have to bleed the fuel?

No, if you have injection the pump will pressurize the system on it's own. If you have a carb, you may want to prime the system for quick starting. Priming is done by pouring fuel into the top of the carb into the bowl vent, which will allow you to fill the bowl of the carb, so that the engine can start and run long enough for the fuel pump to get fuel from the tank and up to the carb.

The location of the fuel line depends on where the carburetor is mounted. If the carb is mounted directly on top of the fuel tank, the fuel "line" is the pickup tube that extends from the carburetor into the tank. The carburetor will have to be removed to get to the pickup tube. If the carb is mounted away from the fuel tank, the fuel line will come from the tank.

The bowls of the carb are filled from the top. In the case of fuel injection, the fuel pump is in the tank and pushes fuel when you turn the key.

If you remove the air cleaner from the top of the carburetor and look at the front of the carburetor you will see a big medal line going to the carb. You will need a 1 inch wrench and a 5/8 inch wrench to take the fuel line loose from the carb. The fuel filter is behind the 1 inch fitting that's screewed into the carb.
