Car won't start

I have 1986 Alfa Spider that won't start. Car has been sitting for a year. I replaced battery, fuel tank, fuel sender unit, both fuel pumps. I seems that the in tank pumps is not getting any power. The car cranks fine, any ideas would be appreciated.

you need spark, fuel and compression to run. make sure you have spark by removing a wires and check for spark while cranking. check for compression while the plugs are out as well. spray a little carb cleaner into the air filter are to see if it tries to start to verify no fuel pressure.
