This is my first time starting a topic, I don't know if I am even typing in the correct location, but I am having an issue with my '74 LJet and fuel pump. The pump starts with the ignition switch, Pump also runs when Air sensor arm is manually moved. However when starting, it seems that the air sensor is somehow cutting off the fuel pump circuit. The PO had bent the arm so it never opened, but I have bent it back to move as designed. If I disconnect the electrical plug to the Air Sensor, the car starts and runs fine......any thoughts? BTW I have replaced the dual relay, but that did not fix the problem.

Check where the engine harness plugs into the relay board. There should be a yellow wire with a spade connector that is separate from the 12 pin plug. That wire should hook to one of the two rear pins on the 4 pin connector located in the left rear of the relay board. Without that wire, the fuel pump won't receive power when cranking.
