Hi Steve,
The pump is out.
I checked the wiring before taking it out.
The ground wire goes in the same loom as the 12V feed (White).
I measured the ground connector, which is zero ohms, so nothing wrong there.
I'll order new points adjust these and clean everything thoroughly.
I also can test it offline of course. I have separate a battery available.
Cheers,
Hans

Hans, one thing to check is the ground in the back center of the boot.
I've had those get a little loose and cause the fuel pump to become
intermittent. It can also cause some odd light symptoms that you probably would
not see from inside. I tend to stick with the points.
