Dodge Vogue villa grande 1979 won't start

First, easy check to see if there is fuel at/in the carburetor, is to take the air cleaner assembly off and move the throttle linkage by hand to see if fuel squirts in. You will need to hold the blade(s) open on the top to see this. If no fuel there, could mean a bad accelerator pump on the carb, or as you suspect, bad fuel pump. One way to check the pump is to remove the line that goes to the carburetor and have a buddy turn the engine over and see if she pumps. Of course have a container handy to catch the fuel, and disconnect the coil wire so she won't accidentally fire up. You will need to know the engine size to replace the pump. Hope this helps.

That got really long..
