Fuel Pressure Issue

Hello again, for those keeping track, the electrical issue is fixed. Now, I am not getting fuel to the motor. My last mechanical fuel pump broke, and I figured as a temporary fix I could glue over the weeping hole to prevent leakage. Now, with a new pump installed, I'm not getting fuel. I know it's my fault for being stupid and covering the weep hole, but what can I do now to get the pressure back and be able to drive my bronco? Thanks in advance

Should be behind the passenger side kick panel.

I have nothing there. This bronco is 100% mechanical and has no computers to reset. It has a sending unit in the tank, connected to hard lines that connect to a fuel filter and then run to the mechanical pump on the motor.
