MORE !!!Installed engine, turn key, NO FUEL PUMP, OR COMPUTER

I rebuilt the engine and just got done hooking everything up. I get in, turn the key to "ON" and nothing. I can hear a small click out of the fuse box, but no fuel pump like normal. My fuel pump is still mounted on the fuel filter. Crank and crank and nothin happens, but at least I primed the oil system. hahaha.
Anyway besides assuming the pump went bad from sitting for 3 months, what should I look for ? The plugs are all plugged in as far as I can see. I even unplugged and replugged the fuel pump. I will throw the tester on the wires tomorrow, just hope something is not wrong with the computer.

Have you hooked up all connectors without damage? See if have bent terminals or corroded pins. Check all fuses, including large fuse for alternator if present. Follow alt lead into fuse block.

I didn't have any problems with the connectors and they were all clean. I will check them all out again though . IS there only one power wire to the computer ??
I will also go through all of the fuses and check them although none looked bad from a glance.

Pullin my hair out here.

GOT IT. :-) It was one of the plugs on the bellhousing.

After letting the LP prime itself, she fired right up and is quieter than ever.
