Default Need help

I tried to start my car today for the first time since i installed a new motor. I hadn't put the feul line on the intake yet and turned the car over to see if feul would come out. Well no feul came out. I installed a tpis feul pump, and i know it has power. Second, I squirted feul through the throttle body and turned it over to see if it would start. Still nothing. I checked all the ground wires and fuse blocks. Everything looks good and has power. I checked the msd box and everything. It all has power but yet it wont start when i turn it over. Does anyone have any sugestions or experince with problems like this.

This is probably a dumb reply, but do you have fuel in the tank?

I'd start by rechecking all the connections to the motor, ground wires are important too, like the ones above the oil filter area.
you mentioned a MSD box, make sure its connected correctly (per instruction manual) it would be easy to get some of those wires wrong.
it could be a VAT's problem too,
