sooo i tried to crank it today. i was worried there it wouldnt even crank but it did. i have spark and the fuel pump does prime. i smell fuel but none is going to the fuel pressure guage. i have a feeling that i connected the return and other line backwards.

You can't hook them up backwards...they are different sizes...

Also, there is nothing in the swap that would make it not get fuel if the pump is running...should work the same as before.

i hope its not leaking bad enough you dont get any pressure to the rails.....you would be in serious trouble if so. check you reading at the schrader valve you only need 3 things for a motor to run spark,fuel,air so its easy to go from there.
