Temporarily turn off bells when I turn the key?

I took the entire air cleaner assembly off down to the carburetor or what looks like the carburetor. I can find no Schrader valve. I sprayed starter fluid into the air intake and the car starts but only briefly which tells me that the car has spark getting to the plugs and it also tells me that it is just a fuel issue. Because I cannot find the Schrader valve and the fact that I can never changed the fuel filter out. Although I am pretty sure it is the fuel pump, undoing the fuel filter will tell me definitely if the fuel pump is bad as I will try to start the car with the fuel filter line disconnected and see if there is any spray. I am happy because I feel I am getting closer to the resolution and will keep everybody posted.
Would someone recommend a decent aftermarket brand fuel pump and location to buy it. I do not wish to put in a autozone brand but do not think I can afford the part directly from Jaguar.

Was not the fuel pump. Installed brand new fuel pump and still no start up. In fact, when I turn the key to second position I still can not hear the fuel pump. I checked all fuses again ...no luck. Even if I had a multimeter I don't think I know how to check relays.
Very discouraged. Wife was driving the car with no problems and stopped in a store. Came out and the car would not start.
Question... had to feed two lines from the new pump over to the second pump on driver side using a wire coat hanger. The lines submerged in the gasoline as I was feeding it to the second driver side pump. Was that OK or did I screw something up? I would think not considering that they are fuel lines but wanted to hear it from somebody else

I had to leave the car and return to work 4 hours south. I will answer your question in about three weeks when I return to the car.
