I just replaced the fuel pump. The car still will not start. If I put gas in the throttle body it does start. So, is there any other areas I should be looking at to see why gas is not getting to the throttle body?

Is it original motor? If it is should have carburetor not throttle body. check and make sure the rod on your motor is pushing the lever of fuel pump. Also check fuel filter.
