Still having starting issues with me 87 GL.

I was not  getting power to my fuel pump and have replaced the relays,
ignition  switch, and alternator because I noticed the regulator was
bad due to the  old alternator wobbling. Just finished a job replacing
fuel tank seals and  new fuel filter.

Now I'm getting power to the fuel pump at least.  Connected a test
light and it goes on when I turn the key, stays on briefly  (a couple
of seconds) and then turns off. I understand this is normal.  But,
there is no fuel getting to engine. Engine cranks fine, but does  not
turn over.

I bought the fuel pump new a few years back, but my  van has been
sitting for quite awhile.
Wondering now if the pump has  "frozen" up from crap or water that may
have been in my tank. Is it  possible to test for this? Is there anyway
to clean out the fuel pump or  make sure it turns properly?

Man! I was really hoping that it would  start right up today! Any  other
suggestions?
THANKS!

When I was having a lot of rust coming out of my tank my pump locked  up.
 To fix it I reversed the pos & neg briefly to back flush  it.
 That was two years ago and it still is working fine.
