Help! Mustang wont start!

OK here is our pitiful update, lol

Couldnt get the darn fuel pressure gauge on because we didnt have the right connector to fit the valve, we had about 5 minutes to utilize the help we had so we did a couple things. Banged on the solenoid, got that back in place so we could hook up the battery again. It worked, it came unstuck

Decided to use our help to listen again to engine while we crank, we noticed when key was in the ON position, we were hearing fuel in a rushing fashion at the regulator, as in it was noticably loud, like a waterfall. We think it is just rushing back to the tank. Thats is exactly what it sounds like.

Rechecked Schrader valve, seems to be plenty of fuel coming out. Took off the vacuum line to the manifold and our help sucked on the vacuum line (LOL, good helper, huh?), said he could taste vapors in the vacuum line.

Ok guys, help us out, I know you can do it!!!! Do you think it is this regualtor as we had suspected? Or is this not enough to go on? What do you think?

Thanks for your advice

All help appreciated
