I took out my engine to replace the rear main and all the gaskets and to repaint it.
Now that it is back in the car I can't get any fuel from the pump. I took off the pump and bench tested it and it shot gas across my bench. I removed the distributor to check the pump rod. It was moving like it should. But still no gas is being pumped.
When I did this I had a gas line running into a bottle full of gas in case it was plugged from the tank.
The engine is a 400.

Yes. Push rod was in the right spot. I could see it moving on the cam as the engine was turned over. If it was wrong it wouldn't stay against the cam.

get a length of 5/16 fuel line and a funnel and hook it to the pump inlet & dribble some gas in to prime it
live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
