Crank, no start issue

I have an 88 f150 with the 302, I recently did a clutch job and when I went to start it it wouldn't fire up. I tested power to my fuel pump and had none. I can hear the relays click but the pump doesn't hum at all. My next step was to check the inertia switch but it isn't tripped. I have quite alot of resistance at the plug to the pump and no voltage. I found a pinched wire going into a grey plug at the top of the bell housing. I repaired the wire and still nothing. I have replaced the following parts to no avail:
Fuel pump, relays, fuel filter, and ignition coil. I'm still not getting power to my fuel pump. Does anybody know if there is another fuse or relay that may have burnt up? I can't find anything. Plz help lol

Will it fire up with starting fluid?

You likely did something electrical when replacing the clutch. Trace the wires and find where the power stops.
