Car won't start after fuel pump install

So, I'm in a prediciment. I swapped out my stock pump with a new Aeromotive 340lph. I swapped the wires around to make sure the polarity is correct and everything went together without a hitch. I go to start it, and it just turns over. I'm getting fuel to the rail but it still won't start. I blead the fuel feed line as well, but it seems like it isn't pressurizing the system. Any advice?

I figured it out! I was getting 7 volts to the pump but low voltage wasn't my only problem. I swapped sending units because something must have been messed up between where the connector plugs in and where the fuel pump plugs is too. After the swap, it runs like a dream finally.
