Fuel Pump will not run, Checked fuse, relay, etc Options

[BCinSC]

So Blanche ('73 White 914-4 1.7L) was running great last summer until she simply stopped on I-95 in Burlington, MA. Simply no spark anymore. Having no time to deal with it, she sat until today. I figured out the spark problem, but now the fuel pump, won't. Familiar with this type of issue, I open the relay board and check the fuse and the relay. I've got 12V where I'm suppose to - both sides of fuse, pin85 of FP relay when key on (FI Brain energizes to close circuit to join pin30 and pin87 I believe). PIN13 of connector closest to firewall, which diagram says goes out to FP itself, shows continuity to ground, so I'm guessing broken wire somewhere. Sounds reasonable/plausible? Fuel Pump was functional before I put her away.

Bruce,
Just went thru this yesterday with another member.
1- with the fuel pump relay removed, jump pin 13 and 14 of the 14 pin connector. Pin 14 is always hot, so you don't need the key on. If the pump runs, the pump and wiring are good, and the problem is in the relay board somewhere - most likely ( I can never be 100% sure with these cars). If pump does not run, check with voltmeter to ensure 12 Volts at pin 14. This comes from the batt +, one of the 4 large red wires attached at the batt. If the voltage is present, then you have a wiring or fuel pump problem.
Let me know what you find and we can go from there to find the problem.

PS; you will continuity thru the pump brushes to ground, don't let that throw ya.
