fuel pump thingy not clicking in dash

this is on the 82.....

replaced pump relay.. and also checked power to the fuel pump fuse and also power to the relay, everything there checks out ok.. car will start then die instantly cause i have an aftermarket pump up front to boost pressure(i know but i didnt wanna take the tank out ) but i dont hear the clicking i normally hear.. and if i take the fuel hose off at filter up front(before the aftermarket pump) there is 0 fuel coming out with key on.

what else should i check before takin the tank out and replacing pump(if thats what it is)

ive also heard theres a fuel pump switch or is it just the relay?

thanks

id go ahead and replace the pump in the tank. i dont think the pump up front will do anything for you if the one in the back isnt working. nothing to suck the gas up into the lines. since you replaced the relay, i think its safe to say its the pump itself
