Bob--
You don't say if you put in a new oil pump or checked the old one for
clearances, etc. In any case, assuming the pump is functional it is
sometimes recommended to pack it with vaseline or light grease to help it
reprime, though I have never had to do this.
At this point I would recommend that before going to the trouble of pulling
the sump and doing that that you loosen the filter canister nut or back off
the spin-on a few turns to lessen resistance and--after first putting some
rags around the filter--spin the engine over with plugs disconnected. Oil
pressure should quickly come up and then you can clean up the mess.
