No fuel on 86 4kq

First thing, when you turn the key to the on position you should here the
pump prime for a few seconds.. that's the easiest thing to check first....

Subject:	No fuel on 86 4kq

     I have recently installed a new engine in an old 86 4kq that i got and
when i went to test it today i realized that i was getting no fuel to the
distributor.  I have been through the archives about this and have been able
to check a few things, but i still have a few questions.  I replaced the
relay with a known good unit.  I only put a few gallons of gas in the tank,
should i put in more?  The car sat with for a while and when i got it the
tank was bone dry, i would assume that it had been dry for a few years.  I
have no experience with fuel pumps so i am a bit cautious.
     I would assume that the next step would be to check voltage at the
pump.  What is the proper procedure for this?  If there is voltage then can
i assume that the pump is bad or is there somthing else to check?  If the
pump is bad is it difficult to replace?  
    Also, when i turn the key to the run position i noticed that the charge
meter down by the diff-lock switch doesnt light up.  I did move the battery
to the trunk, is there somthing i forgot the reconnect or is the meter dead?

You guys have been great with all your help in the past and i appreciate it.
For all of you who have responded to my post about parts i havnt forgotten
about you and have been working on getting the parts pulled, it seems that
work and trying to get my daily driver running have been taking up more time
then i would like it too.
