My car wont start, It ran when i bought it but won't start Options

[turnaround89]

Little background first. Bought the car about a month ago and drove it around the neighborhood for a little while since it wasnt insured, never out on actual roads with other drivers. I got the insurance on the car and took it out for its first real drive. Drove the car for about 30 min and stopped at the bank to make a deposit. When i went back out the car would not start, couldn't even jump start the car. So i had to have it towed home, the drive cost me 50 dollars.

Well, i get the car back to the garage and start tearing into it, thinking it might be the starter, well i can't change the starter until the engine comes out(unless someone can help me there) but the starter seems fine, because i replaced the battery and the starter had lots more power. So new battery didn't make the car fire up, only the starter would crank the car, but no actual running engine. Replaced the spark plugs(they were horrible, gaped correctly) didn't do a thing. The starter cranks the engine but it will not fire up. I changed the fuel filter(and some of the fuel lines because they were horrible) today and that didn't help either. The old filter was pretty nasty. Hooked the fuel pump back up and the car still won't fire, starter cranks, but the engine won't turn over and start. I have ordered a new coil and spark plug wires. I had a friend with me and he watched the spark come through the wires and said it was really weak. However, if this doesn't solve my starting problem, what else could there be?

My dad says to check the timing and possibly the fuel pump might not even be working. The car ran two weeks ago, is it possible the fuel pump went out?

Oh yea, the car originally came with the 2.0L but the PO sold it and put a 1.8L carbed engine in. I can get more info about the engine if it helps.

Thanks everybody. Here are some pictures of the car, i am hoping for a 916 clone. I need the rear bumper and thats it(unless i want a steel roof, which i don't)

Yep, that's the hot start relay.

I had a very wrong fuel pump when I got my car. I had the FI pump with dual Dellorto Carbs. Can't believe it even ran before. The pressure is too high so don't go stock. I put an AutoZone $49 fuel pump on mine and it's run great since. They usually stock two that look similar. One pump they sell is blue and one is red. Just make sure the pressure rating is 3.5-5 lbs of pressure.
