No fuel being pumped

Sorry in advance for a probable simple Dilema. I am military and just got back to Hawaii from a six month deployment. My car (a 440 Duster) has been sitting in the garage covered the entire time. I cannot start it or get my fuel pump to pump gas. This is the basic stuff I have checked so far:
1. Verified Fuel is in the tank.
2. I checked the fuel filter and it is not clogged.
3. Disconnected hose prior to carbs and cranked it over with no fuel being pumped.
4. Disconnected inlet hose to fuel pump (Edelbrock mechanical) and ran hose to a gas tank with a different hose to seperate portable gas tank.

I was unable to get flow or any gas to pump when cranking the engine. Is there something I can do to mechanically agitate the pump, Is it a bad pump, stuck pump or am I missing something? I appreciate the help. I'm a weekend mechanic and love to fix things myself (with periodic assistance)
