I pulled the primary fuel line off the fuel rail and when the key is turned on, there is a 2 second (?) burst of fuel and then nothing.

That's normal. The control unit turns the fuel pump on for two seconds to prime the system. The pump does not come on again until the points in the bottom of the distributor are opening & closing which happens when you are cranking it over or the engine is actually running.

Did you replace the 1/2" hose? Any air getting sucked in there will cause havoc with the pump.

Like Rhys says, you really need a pressure gauge to diagnose.
