fuel pump

Check the 5A fuse, if has one, in wire from coil to oil pressure safety switch. Run a bypass wire from the hot lead on coil to fuel pump. This bypasses the wire with fuse and the oil pressure safety switch. With ignition switch on and power to the fuel pump you will hear it working, if it works, without engine running. Can also take fuel line off to make sure its pumping fuel.

If working properly the fuel pump draw less than 2A. I wouldn't worry about measuring the current. I looked at your pictures of the fuel pump and I am not seeing that it has a ground wire, which should be connected to the mounting bolt of the pump.

I just had similar problem and turned out fuel pump was going bad and it finally blew the fuse. Replaced fuel pump and fuse and its running great now. It stopped on me once last year and twice this year before I decided to change everything; electronic ignition, plugs, wires, coil, fuel pump and oil pressure safety switch.
