Won't Start - Stumped

I recently had to replace the rear fuel line on my '88 F-150 as it was leaking at the coupling on the tank. I used one from a parts truck that I have. The truck started and ran fine before. Now after changing this I can not get it to start. What could be the problem? Vapor Lock in the line? Any thoughts would be appreciated and my wife would really be glad too.

Also all the pumps to cycle and prime. I have not checked the shrader valve to see if it is getting fuel or not. I am having a hard time getting to it on my 300.

If you dropped the tank down you probably pinched a line when you put it back up.
It been done before.
Cheers,

You Can Break The Line At The Motor And Slowy Press The Tank Up To About 2psi If You Think It Is Locked Up.

I will have to try clearing the line to make sure that it is not locked up. I did not have to drop the tank as I am replacing the cab and bed and at the time the bed was not on it. So much easier than dropping the tank.
