Hello All,

You can all check out the progression of events from:

http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/index.htm?id=888591

After all, the in-tank fuel pump was toast (walk in the park) but more importantly the sending unit had perforated due to rust, causing unseen leaks. Bad in-tank fuel pump + sending unit sucking air = not enough fuel pressure at the manifold.

So off to this little hole in the wall shop to have the sending unit sandblasted and soldered to death. Then add a new in-tank pump, sock, main fuel filter and a few other sundry items and magically we have a car that fires right up.

Gotta build myself a fuel pressure tester....
