1976 fuel injection questions Options

Picked up a 76 out of texas that had been converted to single carb that just doesn't run very well. I decided to convert back to original FI, essentially everything is gone and I am working on understanding the system. I guess my first question is where does the fuel pump draw power from? there is a single black wire underneath the fuel tank that has no power to it but all the relays have been removed and Im waiting on those from pelican

on the question of how the previous owner got the car past smog as a 49 state car for so many years i have remembered something about my car being smogged back in 90 in chicago. i pulled the papers out of a box to have a look again.
what i see is that i got two chances to get the car to pass.
the idea being if you took it in and it failed they gave you another slip to keep driving for a month and you had to take it for a tune up. then you could go back take a second test and submit the invoice for the tune up and i guess maybe a mechanics short report.
if the car did not pass the second test, but you had paid for a tune up and the new car warranty and emissions warranty was expired well they just gave you a pass even if it failed. they did not put the car off the road.

you still basically had to go every two years to do a smog.
and all they were kind of doing was making you pay for a tune up at most.

so maybe california law was like that back in the 80s.
past a certain date, the car would have been what 10 years old.
well out of its new car and emissions warranty. i think emissions was 5 years or 50,000 miles. so maybe cali was like chicago. if you tuned it and it still failed at a second test they let you keep it on the road anyway. and i guess if you never sold the car and continuously owned it you never triggered any new laws brought in. like junker legislation or the rolling emission cut offs which got frozen at 1976 whenever that was in more recent times.
