What kind of a strange noise did the car make? There are many things that could lead to zero pressure, blocked pickup, bad pump, broken drive rod from the distributor, spun bearing, and the list goes on. Buy an inexpensive gauge and put it in to see if the factory gauge or sender is bad (I prefer mechanical gauges).

The sender unit is right next to the fuel pump (driver side front of engine, near oil filter) It is bell shaped with a single wire going to the top of it. You may have to crawl under the car to see it. Simply remove it (use wrench on hex nut at the base of the sending unit) and install the gauge in its place.
