Carb swap update.....

Recently bought an 89' Wrangler with a straight 6 and replaced the stock car (shot beyond repair) with an Edlebrock 500cfm. While swapping I dropped the tank to clean since it had been sitting for a while. Since I had the tank out I was running the Jeep from a hose to a fuel can off of the mechanical fuel pump on the block. Everything was going well until I reconnected everything to the fuel tank. Now I am not getting any fuel at all. The previous owner had everything apart under the hood so I don't know if I am missing an electrical connection to the tank or if there is some sort of vacumm line I am missing. Also I think that an aftermarket fuel filter was added up by the carb. There are two lines coming off the out side-one to the carb and the other back to the tank.

PLEASE HELP I AM STUMPED!!!!!!!!!!:x
 

I wonder if the pick-up line in the tank is clogged? Maybe try to blow the line out from the fuel pump to the tank.
 
If you blow the line out, take off your gas cap first. the tank will build up pressure and squirt you good. yes i took a gas bath once.
