The first thing to check if your not getting any fuel would be the fuel pump. After that, be sure the lines are connected and open, and also check the flexline to be sure it isn't sucking air. As for the plugs, note the firing order and the number one position on the distributor cap, and go from there. If they were right before, and they were changed one at a time, they pretty much have to be right.

Subject: IML: '66 Fuel feed woes
Just got my '66 coupe back together today: replaced the rear main seal (and the side rail seals), so we put the tranny back on, cleaned out the oil pick-up and pan and put them back on, reattached the yoke, put starter back on, replaced plugs and wires & fuel filter, and fixed the throttle linkage (that got bent from hoisting the block) then went to start her up but she does not seem to be pumping any gas at all into the car or the fuel filter.
Any tips on how to suss out the problem? I am sooooo close to getter her to start and go!
Oh yeah: any tips on making sure I didnt' screw up the plug wires when I swapped them? I tried to do them one at a time, but was pretty toasted by the end of the day, so may have screwed up one or two.
