Default Low pressure at fuel rail

i have 91 ford f150 5.8 with new fuel pump and low pressure at fuel rails and a no start issue.Fuel pump is priming as should,and will run a second or two with starting fluid.I pressed the shraeder valve and fuel just bubbled out like it was not under pressure,any ideas

Have you changed the fuel filter? Possibly the fuel pressure regulator is bad and the gas is just flowing back to the tank. Just a thought.

i think i found the problem,i took the fuel filter out and turned on the pump and the pump runs for the 2 second prime but pumps no gas.I have gas in the tank but seems like this pump is a bummer...spectra.
