Drove it about 30 miles half on the freeway at 60mph. Running completely normal and smooth. Car has been sitting about a week. Not driving it much now. The power cut out kind of like it ran out of gas. The gauge says 1/4 tank and I can see gas down inside it. Checked my fuses and moved my relays around on the relay board. Car has spark. Stock 2.0 with D-jet. It does have pertronix points. Battery is strong. It tries to fire, but sounds sick and won't run. Smells like gas when you crank it.

Pelican says:
If pump relay shows 12 volts at terminal 86, but terminal 85 has no ground. NOTE: The fuel pump relay is active for only about 1- 1 1/2 seconds after the ignition has been switched on. Check with voltmeter; relay is wired from ground through control unit. Do not connect terminal 85 to ground without first disconnecting wire 19 leading to the control unit, otherwise the control unit will be damaged. If no ground is available to wire 19 (switch ignition on and off), replace control unit. Once the engine fires, how is the fuel pump controlled? |

By the FPR where gas pressure is stepped down and returns to the tank. Pump runs all the time. |
