Air in fuel system?
Re-earth the chassis, remeber the vit has (had) lots of earth bod points, you may have upset the pump with one of these. Check the harness for damage etc and check all connectors. the ones at the back corrode pretty bad. On a carb engine you have a mechanical pump, check this and all your fuel hoses for air leaks.
You also have an ecu up under the dash behind the fuse box, you did disconnect the battery before welding didnt you?
wrecker:
i agree with the welding part,
you must remove,undo the batt when welding mate becouse it can do some reall funny thing to cars :o :shock:

battery neg lead was off all the time. yer seen bad things happen with batterys and welders. . im going to change the sparks plugs to night as i havent since i got the car check dizzy air in fuel didnt now that petrol suffer from this but the fuel return pipe i let runn of in to a can theres a good flow. theres a 3rd pipe witch i belive to be a breather. small thin pipe enters the tank on the pass side front. where the othe two mount on the pump plate. that wasnt contected. i will blead the fuel at the front of the car. check the cyl for injection and spark too. was going to try and run pump of a 12 sorce in case it wasnot powering up corect to. as for the loom and plgs there all taped up and corr free. fuses are ok too. will report back laters
