I can't tell you why your lines are dry, could be clogged with dirt at the tank, or in the line somewhere, or like you said, your tank switch may not be switching over, maybe a relay.
Why do you want an electric fuel pump anyways? I think that once you get your fuel flowing through your lines that you'll be fine with a mechanical pump, unless your going with some sort of fuel injection system.

i am running an electric fuel pump in my truck, and it needs to be mounted as close as posible to the tank. there might be no gas in the line because the pump will have a hard time bringin gas into a dry line, work with it a little and try to get some gas coming out. these pumps push fuel, and can't really pull much at all.
