No fuel to the engine?

Ok I've replaced the fuel pump it comes in short Time then nothing from it it doesn't turn back on when turn The engine over what do I check what could My problem be. Oh I guess I'll tell you what happened I was going about 35 running good it acted like it lost 5 cylinders and died that took a couple seconds it hasn't started Since I've replaced the fuel pump Since I wasn't getting fuel I figured that was the problem. No BB back fires it just turns over tried starting fluid scared to use to much don't want to blow it up. So should it start with starting fluid even If no fuel getting to the rail. I'm very confused. Since it I guess the prime part of it I figured I had power to the pump. Please help I've drove myself crazy (. It needs to have fuel pump on motor and carburetor and Cap and rotor. Then I can fix it old school)
