Question ???

Did the electrical fuel pump work prior to this, even on the old motor? If so, it sounds like you have some fried wires from the ignition flare up. Get in there and look at any fusible links in the harness, look at fuses, look at connectors...if any wires look a bit *melted* that's where to begin work. Use an Ohm Meter, and test continuity on any suspect wires, as well as the ground connections mentioned by Chuck and I. Get a really long set of test leads, so you can check long wires.

Again, be REALLY careful about the fuel lines, and go get two big gas/electrical rated xtinguishers first!!!!

OH, and if at all possible, use a magnet on a good soft wire or string, to grab the metal particles !
