Happens all the time. However the replacement Transmission Dispensary may be faulty or improperly calibrated. What size owl feather did you use?

I can't make much sense of all this so I suggest testing with only testing ONLY with the DME side of the DME relay jumper installed and not the fuel pump side.

That means connecting 30 to 87 but not 87b. Then with no fuel pump crank the engine to clear it, then try some starting fluid.
If it starts on starting fluid, connect fuel pump for a few seconds, then disconnect and crank again. If it catches that probably means fuel is escaping the fuel system.
You might get it to run by dabbing the fuel pump on and off in short bursts but if left connected it'll flood out and die. That would verify too much fuel.
