The new pump is running and I jumpered around the relay ran it into a graduated cylinder and the volume seems good.
I don't have a pressure tester but it is about the only thing it can be at this point.
Before you say it, not it was not an OEM pump, it was a Carter. Should have know better.
Unless there is some sort of pump priming procedure I don't know about or something then it is just me being penny wise and pount foolish :-(
Thanks again

You say you jumperd around the fuel pimp relay to test volume flow.
Is the relay working or is it possible that the relay is bad.
There is a possibility that you have air in the fuel line.
Perhaps jumpering the fuel pump while pushing the presta valve on the injector fuel rail will bleed the air out.
If that is the issue.
When you crank it over does it even fire??? sputter??
The first thing to do is Spray some starter fluid into the intake while cranking to see if it fires.
Then you will know for sure if it is a fuel issue.
Don't get carried away with the starter fluid.
If it does not fire on the starting fluid then you need to test for spark at the plugs.
