Unhappy 86 crown vic no spark -now no fuel. HELP!!!!!!!

I have an 86 Crown Vic LTD 5.0 Fuel Inj. I am using the car in a local trailer race and have moved the battery inside the car. i also have moved the starter solenoid inside the car from the front fender. i reconnected all the wires to the solenoid. grounded the battery to the frame and the frame to the engine block. When I try to start it, the starter turns over great - the fuel pump turns on - but no start.. Is there something obvious that Im not seeing? All fuses under the dash are good..didnt see any under the hood fuses. I dont think its getting a spark. It ran fine before the battery move.. How can I trouble shoot the no spark issue??

PLEASE HELP!!!

No I have spark - but poor fuel delivery. The car will start and run with the help of starter fluid, but it wont STARt without it. Bad fuel filter? - Fuel pump? It didnt do this until I moved the battery and starter solenoid inside the car ??

make sure the connection is clean for all of your grounds and make sure they are not getting hot... body to frame, frame to block

Thanks!
I found out it wasn't a "no spark" issue. I can get the car running with starter fluid and then it will stay running. But it wont start by itself. Its now a fuel issue. the fuel pump is working, but it doesnt seem to be working well. Any suggestions. Could a bad fuel filter be the cause? Im trying to avoid dropping the gas tank and replacing the fuel pump if there is a possibility it could be something more simple...

THanks!!
