Need fuel system help quick!

I just put my motor in today(85 F-250, 460), and I have no fuel. I noticed some melted wires on a relay which I think is the pump relay. I replaced them even though it looked as though they had melted a long time ago. I tried resetting the impact switch, cleaned and checked all connections. I dont know what else to do. I checked the connections at the relays and there is no power to any of them. I would like to get this motor fired up and broken in before dark since I have snooty neighbors. All the fuses are good too. Everything worked perfectly 11 days ago when I pulled the motor.

check your grounds! That is very common when replacing motors. Make sure all the straps are hooked up.

Sorry Dan, I got nothin'.

It sucks when you get that far and go to fire it up and something stupid like that holds you up.

There is nothing like starting up a new motor for the first time.
