Default HELP Needed! 1976 Corvette in Spring Texas

I am looking for some help to get my 76 Stingray going. I initially had a bad turn signal switch. I did pull the steering wheel to fix the switch, but now car won't start. I do have an electric fuel pump on the vehicle, but noticed the pump doesn't pump when I turn the key on like it did before. The car will turn over, but is definitely starved for fuel.
I am not the greatest mechanic, but am always usually able to fix things if I can pinpoint the problems, but in way over my head with this problem.
I was hoping to find a friend that can come over and help me out when they can in Spring Texas......... any takers? I would be greatly appreciative and willing to compensate you for your help!

Thanks,

KM

So.... I knocked a wire loose when I was connecting the turn signal harmonic switch. I have lots of bubba wiring to fix!

Thanks for looking!

Have you ever used Bob's Auto Express on Spring Cypress? Extremely honest, and very knowledgeable. I have my car in there now, replaced/upgraded fron and rear suspension, and adding rack and pinion steering. He works on all classics, musclecars, street rods.

If its bubba up, sometimes its easier just to find a whole column on eBay or a corvette salvage yard. If you don't have tilt wheel or a worn rag joint, it would be a great excuse to up grade
