I've discovered that, in addition to not having fuel pressure, I also have no spark after reassembling my engine. Nice. I checked the ignition fuse and it's fine. I also removed the HT lead from the distributor and held it 6mm from engine block so see if I had a spark (I didn't). Seeing that I have neither fuel nor spark I'm wondering if there is a larger problem at work here - perhaps a wire pulled loose while I was working on the engine? Is there a common component between the fuel pump and the coil that I could check?
One other bit of info that might be helpful is that while the engine was apart, (negative battery lead disconnected) I moved something and grounded out the battery and there was a spark - I don't remember exactly how or what all was in contact, but maybe that fried something? Seems like it would have just blown a fuse.
Feeling like a rank amateur at this point.
