Default HELP car wants to start but won't

The fuel pump won't prime or anything. It seems like it wants to but it won't. I know it isn't getting fuel but it's not the pump. I think it may be my aftermarket blaster coil on my MSD ignition. I have a B20 and I have no $$ to buy another distributor to even find out if that's it. I am screwed right now. I changed the fuel pump and then i changed all of the underhood fuses. Next is the fuses under the dash and seeing if it is showing a CEL. Man this thing has pissed me off. I haven't even driven my car on the street(has started and driven like 3 times) since I finished everything.

If anyone may know what it can be please reply. I need to get the car on the road by Saturday to make the drive back to school.

Clogged fuel filter? Bad hose somewhere? Pump installed backwards? Start at either the pump or injector end and disconnect the pressure line, put it in a container and have someone turn on the ignition and see if you get pressurized flow. If you do, go to the next place you can open the fuel system and try again.

Are the plugs wet or dry after trying to start it? If wet, then no ignition or at the wrong time, like the distributor is way out of time or wires on in wrong order. If dry, need to verify pressurized fuel at the fuel rail.

If you are sure it's a fuel problem why would the ignition coil have anything to do with it? Have you verified you have ignition at the right time? If it will turn over and you have a timing light, check the timing while cranking. It will not flash at the mark but it won't be so far off that you can't find the mark, unless the timing is way off.
