Need a little help

I posted a question about my fuel pump earlier, but I have got to thinking about it, lemme run the whole story by you guy's and see if you have any ideas.

Car ran great in the fall, stored it for the winter, some gas still in it, no stabilizer(bad I know). I pumped out 95% of the gas, filled with good gas, cranked it over, wouldn't fire, I poured some gas in carb, it fired up. I pulled the fuel line off carb and cranked it, no fuel came out of the line, I pulled line off at fuel pump, installed new line to carb with new filter, still no fuel coming up from pump. Line from pump to fuel cell is pretty new....any ideas, would a pump go bad like that, or is it a priming issue?

Thanks to anyone who replies

The 73 Cuda I bought had stuff solidified in the fuel pick up line in the tank unit. I had to pull the tank unit and run a frayed cable in a drill through it to get it to draw fuel again. The sock may be clogged as well. Run a fuel line off your pump into a gas can and see if it draws from it...=P~

If you have a compressor or air tank.... be very carefull here... REMOVE your gas cap and blow backwards through the fuel line downstream of the pump and have someone listen at the tank to see if it goes through. The valves in your pump may have distorted from drying out so it could be a pump issue if the line checks out.

That is such a simple way to test the pump, it's brilliant, which is prob why I did think of it ;) Thank you
