Fuel Problem

Hi there.... i just got done putting in my engine... 3-5 TBI 5 speed.. so it started the first 4 times... then it didn't .. im guessing its the fuel pump so i need to check it because i don't hear it at all.. i checked the oil pressure sensor next to the oil filter and i read that this kicks in the fuel pump if the relay goes bad... also im thinking about changing the fuel filter.. it might be cloged for it might be the original for all i know.. also i tried to check some relays or fuses.. i cheked the one near the battery but that was good... but i found this one missing
