Can't Prime!

I finally got (50 psi rubber) fuel lines installed on my 85 300D. This is temporary to get the car running until I replace them with hard lines. Only problem is I can't get the system to prime. How many times do I have to pump the primer pump? I know the priming is working because some fuel is entering and bubbles too into the primary fuel filter. But I can't get it to fully prime. I open the nut on top of the secondary spin-on filter when I'm priming.

Does the amount of fuel in the tank have any bearing to this? Its low but not empty.

Anything I'm missing here?
