Default Fuel Delivery Issue: 1965 Chevelle

I ran my car hard at RTTC and when I got it home I couldn't get my car started. I suspected a burned out electric pump so I recently installed an Edelbrock 1791 pump. Confirmed the pump works with a small gas can, but discovered I'm not getting any gravity fed fuel to the front of the car. I plan to reposition the pump in the rear of the car near the tank, but need to figure our how to clear the line without compressed air. Any thoughts?

Default I discovered the problem...

I was finally able to get under the car this weekend and check the lines. Found the rubber line from the tank to the hardline got cut and opened up. Swapped it out with a new piece and it is pulling fuel without issue.
