So, is there some trick to this? I changed out the fuel pump and got a nice gas shower while doing so. Now that it is hooked up, I can't get it to start. I turned the key on and off many times to let the pump cycle. Now, the engine doesn't want to run. It does start up when I turn the key, but it only runs for about a second or two and then dies. I have tried this multiple times and I can't keep it running. I can hear the pump running for a second or two once the engine dies.
I know this isn't a diesel, but when my diesel tractor runs out of fuel, I have to bleed the injectors of all of the air before it will start. Do I have to do something like that? When I changed the pump, I let the gas lines drain out quite a bit, so is there air in those lines?
Any suggestions?

First you need to verify that you have fuel pressure at the rails.
If do not have a gauge on the rail... go get one. After you confirm that you can start pulling injectors to see if they are clogged.
Oh and... make sure you did not kink any lines in the process of replacing the pump. Does not say what year your car is so I don't know if it is under the tank or in the engine bay.
It's running on the CSV. Make SURE the lines are attached to the correct ports! The port nearest the relief valve is return, the one that goes to the little "T". The center line is pressure, the last one id suction, from the filter and tank. Make SURE the wires are on the correct connectors, which are clearly marked on the plastic surrounding the connectors. Brown to ground. Once that's done, check for pressure. Report back. I doubt "clogged" injectors is an issue, as it effectively never happens except in commercials. There is a possibility that they're not firing, and that could be bad grounds under the intake manifold plenum, or bad (or disconnected) trigger points. The Cap'n
If it has the plastic socket on the wires, it does go in only one way. The pump is marked +/- right on the receptacle. Yes on the CSV. The Cap'n
So do you have a 75-76? Is the fuel pump under the tank? If so there are screws in the front trunk that you can remove to pull the pump or inspect it.
