project Milano

["Wayne Abbott" <wabbott@domain.elided>]

Hey Y'all,
Well the beater Milano arrived.  Once the crud was hosed off, the debris was
removed from the interior and the rear seat bent back into shape and put back
in place it didn't look so bad.  It is parked at work for now, right next to
the spare alfetta engine, so it gathered some attention.  we put a battery in
it and the thing actually started!  Unbelievable,  after a few starts and
stalls it settled into a fairly decent idle.  Again, unbelievable.  It needs a
lot but a friend with an abundance of Milano parts did some cleaning and the
project Milano was the benefactor.

Questions:
Now it won't start.  Can someone tell me the electrical path that feeds the
fuel pump.  I removed a few miles of extra wire from the now long gone stereo,
car phone, alarm system, and who knows what else but it seems that I have
disabled the fuel pump.  At least I don't hear it running at all.  If I spray
something into the air intake it will fire and run for a couple of seconds, so
it seems that it is not getting fuel.

When I found this car I had plans of feeding parts to the Alfetta project "GTV
2.0" but now....

Anyone know how easy it would be to put the spare Alfetta engine into the
Milano?  Use the mid eighties Ljet injection?

anyone got some Milano parts they don't know what to do with?
