83 wagon - after filter change no pressure in line

[mxnz]

-- i recently let my wagon sit 4 a month without trying 2 crank it - when i did i noticed the glow plug light was not on and it would not crank - i killed the battery trying --- this car has always been hard 2 crank in cold weather - so using a bosch plug i had laying around i replaced one of the worst plugs(which i used my volt meter 2 find) and using starter fluid it started but then the RPms shot up and it made this weird clacking noise - i shut it off - thinkin' maybe the starter fluid was a bit much 4 it -- ooops ... when the other 4 plugs arrived i replaced all the shwag autolite plugs with bosch - and changed both fuel fliters and was ready 2 try again --- nowmy problem is that i can't get pressure in the fuel line - i have a hand pump but it doesn't do anything - i must have pumped that thing 500 times and nada ... what more can i do ?and yes i opened the bolt on top of filter housing -
