Just finish putting the fuel pump back on and tried to get fuel back into the line. After I put the key in and tried to get fuel flowing I lost all electrical power. Can the fuel pump motor do that?

I doubt that your fuel pump would have caused that to happen. Most likely, it would have blown a fuse rather than cut the power to the whole electrical system of the car. The first thing I would do is check the battery cable connections. Loose cables can wreak all sorts of electrical havoc on your car. Here is a guide on cleaning and tightening cables: https://www.2carpros.com/articles/everything-goes-dead-when-engine-is-cranked

If that does not do it, then the next thing I would suggest is checking your fuses in the under hood fuse box.

When a fuel pump goes out it can do so one of two ways either it can quit and stop working or it can fail intermittently causing the engine to stall or not start.
