I just got back from taking voltage readings from all over, and this is
what I found.  I had 12v at the battery, the ignition, the fuse block.  I
got 1.5 or less at the coil.  After fiddling with the ground at the coil
the voltage went up to 5v.  Then what I did was to remove all wires
except the one from the ignition.  I achieved 11.5v to 12.0.  I plugged
the fuel pump wire on the voltage dropped to zero.  I then crawled under
the van had the ignition turned on the voltage would go to 10v then drop
to zero.  I suspect a bad fuel pump.  what do you think?
