Evidently the impact with the curb on the passenger side wheels caused the intank pump to break what must have been a fragile rubber hose segment on the pickup tube. This is a guess as I have not peeked in the tank yet.

Adding 5 gallons of gasoline and purging the lines of air restored fuel to the rail. A low battery and a weak spark prevented it from starting and flooded the cylinders with gas.

Charging the battery, removing the plugs, squirting some oil into the cylinders increased the compression and cranked it fast enough to start.
