The fuel pump should only run when it sees a signal from the dist. So if the engine is not running you wont hear the pump.

If it cranks check for spark first (after you checked the fusable links).

My manual states that if you open the filler cap and turn the key to the on position you should hear the pump, whirring noise should be heard. Is this only for a second or wil it do it constantly? Working by myself it is tough to turn the key on the run and check for noise because of the way it is parked, I have to run around the passenger side to get to the back of the truck to listen for it.

Hold on did I plug the dizzy in??? let me go check that...
