76 Fuel Pump problem
The car has been in storage for a season, tried to start but no fuel. Can't hear the fuel pump clicking on anymore. Ran some quick start to see if it would sputter, did but has no fuel. Ideas?

Have you tested the fuel pump to see if it's functional? What about the easy stuff like the associated fuel pump fuses & relays?

The fuses, (if you want to call them that) are unlike any I have seen before, upon visual inspection are ok. I have not tested the relays or directly connected the fuel pump to a power source for time reasons. I will next weekend. It is a 76 S Targa with 36k miles. Dual 3barrel webers and a host of other modifications.

The "fuses" do look like something out of Edison's lab, don't they? Funny that they used them up to '89!

SkierMan, did you ever get it figured out?

I looked at it briefly, I need to trace the wires to see where I can direct connect before I cut.
