I don't know what to do next...

I could try another ebay #ECU, pour another $100 down the drain, and pray that it's not fried too.

I could try to replace the original ECU and wiring with a modern #MegaSquirt ECU.

I could tear all the fucking #fuelinjection shit out, find some #carburetors, linkage, manifolds, and low pressure fuel pump.

I could buy a $20k electric conversion kit.

I could set it on fire and roll it into the Columbia river.

I am so fucking sick of this. I've had this car for over a year stinking up my garage and I haven't even gotten the fuel pump to come on.

I bought a spare ECU, I sourced a replacement transistor, I soldered it on an ancient PCB, I've traced wires all the way from one end of the car to the next.

Fuel Injection was a mistake. I see why everyone converts these fuckers to carbs.

See here's my perfectionism getting the better of me again; I want the ECU's fuel pump relay circuit to work, but I could easily just ground the #19 wire and it would run the pump as long as the key is on. In fact, the previous owner just bypassed the relay entirely with a wire directly to the fuel pump.
