Now on the engine side of the fuel pump no fuel is coming out. Hopefully a new electric fuel pump and she will be good to go.

unless anyone else might have a few ideas.

She did start and run with fuel dumped in to the carb though for about 2 seconds.
Sounds like a bad fuel pump. I did that on my 69 shortbed....only took about 1/2hr and she started up. The other thing to check if you have access to the fuel sending unit is if it somehow got plugged...have you taken the tank line off (into the pump) and seen if the fuel runs out of there?
