Ok, feeling pretty silly now!!  But I have trouble following the wiring
diagram in the Bentley for my year (71).  It just shows the FI power supply
relay and has a wire heading off the page which then says "Connection to
fuel pump relay" but doesn't show the wiring.  For 72 and on, the diagram
is a little better but I didn't know if it applied to me.

How much would you like for a working relay?

Hmmm....not sure about this.  But I'd like to check the voltage like you
said you did.  Which terminal is the output ?  Again, my wiring diagram is
not helping me too much.  Would it be terminal 87 ?

Thanks for helping to narrow this down...
