Put in another 3 gallons and they try again.

Well, it  was a nice day to drive my '59 Bugeye yesterday, but I pushed it 
too far and  ran out of gas when I was on my way to fill up.  I put in a gallon 
plus,  but couldn't get it to start.  I'm aware that a previous owner put an  
electric fuel pump in, but I only know that from the clicking I can hear when  
I turn on the ignition, as I've never explored looking at it.  When I put  
gas in and turned the key, I don't hear the familiar clicking, and it seems  
clear the engine isn't getting gas.  Is there something I need to do to  prime 
the pump?  Or, as I fear, did I kill the pump by running it  dry?
Thanks for any help!  It's another nice day, and we won't have  many more!
Pete
