What is your question?

Aftermarket pumps are in some cases not as good as Ford pump assemblies. If you used an aftermarket pump, there is a chance the new one is faulty. Why does it seem like it isn't getting fuel? You could have an ignition system problem, for example. Like an Ignition Control Module issue. Or a distributor cap/rotor issue. Or a coil issue. You could remove a plug wire and see if it sparks against the engine when cranking. On the off chance, check for an inertia switch being tripped - this will cut off fuel supply when the switch thinks the vehicle has been in a collision. This is on the right side of the transmission hump under the dash. Push the button down on this switch and try to start the car. Do this first before spending time on other diagnosis!
WHAT DOES THE INERTIA SWITCH LOOK LIKE
It's a little rectangular box with a button on top.
