I was wondering if anyone had a diagram where all the ground points are for the fuel system? Car will crank but no start.

Big ground post on the left side, under and forward of the relay panel, battery ground strap, transmission ground strap, and a multi tab point under the right side of the intake plenum, on an upper case through bolt near the flywheel end of the case. That's it.

My '74 2.0L also has a ground connection to the floor under the passenger seat in the seat belt logic mess. Pull this ground and the car will crank but not start. Looks original to me.

There are other grounds on the car... I'm not sure if the one up under the dashboard near the gauges can cause a no-start, though. And I'm pretty certain the ones up front (e.g., for the headlights) cannot.

Do you hear the fuel pump? The late cars at least, have a ground under the gas tank and just forward of the brake fluid reservoir.

Yes i hear the fuel pump, i accidently had the wires connected backwards when i put the new fuel pump in so pressure was going back to the tank but we fixed that. Im going to replace some hoses tonight seeing as how the fuel injecter hoses started leaking and we got alot of fuel in the engine bay. I replaced the pump, fuel pressure regulator, relay and im going to replace the filter tonight because parts store gave me the wrong one.
