Thanks - and yes - I feel so much better with her running. No more misery.

The fuel pump on your 77 is designed
not to run until the starting circuit is engaged so
not hearing the pump running with the ignition switched on is
normal. The fact that the pump (and engine) run normally once the cold start is overcome tells you the pump circuit is operating correctly. This doesn't mean the fuel pump itself is perfect and not a problem, just that the electrical circuitry is operating properly.
Please detail your exact problem with the cold start as there are several possible causes. Now that you have solved the initial problem, you can focus on the cold start.
