Fuel system

this fuel system has got me baffled, it is an 88 that i just bought as a roller, and i put a carbed 350 in it. I started it up for the first time yesterday and it ran fine i only let it run for a minute, yet today i go to start it and its bone dry. the carb isnt squirting any fuel and i just added another 5 gallons to it. I took the fuel pump off and the 3/8" line when i pulled it off it made a big suction cup noise. but then i couldnt fine anything wrong since its a newer pump and i put it back on and everything work correctly and it ran for 2 minutes then died and went bone dry agian....

It had the original tank pump but it doesnt seem to be running when the key is turned on, but it is a block/ mechanical style pump
