sigh :( engine wont start again...
Long story short i'm in the process of just getting the engine (2.8 v6, 87 firebird) on my project car running again. It was at a point where it would fire up with no problems. One day it ran out of gas while i was working on it so i figured, time to replace the fuel filter anyways. That turned into a nightmare, fuel line broke during that process.
I have now replaced the part of broken line and fuel filter.
Replaced the plugs and wire set.
Replaced the maf sensor.
and replaced the damaged air intake with an aftermarket from autozone.
After all of that now it will not start....
I don't know why and i need some ideas/ solutions.
I know i need to check the fuel and spark and see if that's the problem since both were worked on but i'm not sure how, i know there are easy ways of doing it. Thanks in advance everyone.

hmmmm it might actually be the fuel line after going back and looking at something. Also though how do i test the fuel pump to see if it is working?

Need a lot more info than that to help, ie. is it even cranking? Fuel pump is easy to check, when you turn the ignition on you should hear the pump priming the fuel system.
