I do not hear the starter, but I just realized that I only had the clutch in and not the brake since it was hard to do with no seats. Let me put the seats in give it a try.
After further inspection, fuel pumps were replaced and the fuel "distributor" (part that sits right behind the intake, forget what it's called) was replaced with what looks like a CNC milled block and hard lines. The car has been sitting for 6 months so the fuel lines are probably dry.
You shouldn't need both clutch and brake engaged to start the car. I can start mine with only the clutch pedal pressed.
