Default Fuel pump/starting woes

New to me 82' Vette with crate 350. Initially had a bogging issue with the car where the electric fuel pump would quit pumping after running a while. While in the process of changing the ignition tumbler I broke one of the plastic clips in the steering column. While waiting for that to come in I Replaced fuel hoses and fuel filter. started the car up and it ran great no issues. Had to reconnect the steering column harness under the dash to be able to turn it off. Went to restart and get no 2 second fuel prime and car just cranks. ECM and fuel pump fuse was blown so I replaced those and still nothing 🤦 anyone have a suggestion where to check next? Noticed when checking with probe, when the key is off the FP fuse is nice and powered, when turning key to prime the light is barely lit.
