I can say that it is a 1971 model, but I cant say anything more specific 
than that. Dave Hall has a page on his site that tells you more about 
how to find the production date. One thing I wonder about, is your car 
perhaps a German or Australian made one?

As a general rule, it will have enough juice to fire if it has enough to 
crank. I assume you have a carbed car here, since you said you tightened 
the cover of the fuel pump. I know that correct voltage is more 
important on FI cars, but a carbed car should start (when rolling) at no 
more than 10 volts. BTDT.

Now to the most important thing: When will we see pictures? :-)
