As Steven said: after you get it out of the tight space, check for
a working fuel pump relay. Clean the contacts, try again for voltage at
the pump. If the relay clicks, it's probably OK, but dirty contacts can
still shut you down.

I think the coil sends a keep-alive signal to the fuel pump, possible
loose/corroded terminal on the coil?
Does the pump run before the engine cranks?
Maybe relay?

Hey Gents,
After too many years of idle, the 16V will not start anymore.
It used to be that I would kill the battery (even the Optima) after the battery
sat unplugged for too long.
This time I thought I would get another battery (Die Hard this time because it
was the only place open last night) and she would again start. But no luck.
With the new battery, she cranks strong but wont start. With starter fluid she
starts but shuts off within seconds.
I am noticing no buzz from the transfer pump in the tank. I replaced it years
ago for the better model but this looks like a fuel problem.
Any way to test the pump or should I just buy one and call it a day?
This will be the last spring of neglect, I promise.
Thanks,
Larry
