I removed the plugs and turned the key and let her spin a couple of times, no more more than 5 times in total. I put new plugs in, new cap and rotor and turned her over w/o the coil line attached. Attached coil line and she fired right up! then after 5 seconds she died. I discovered the #6 fuse (fuel pump) was blown, a big blow, you know what I mean...I did a 'shake' on the wires I could shake. replaced fuse and started her again, she ran for about 10 seconds now, then blew. I checked amp draw by putting leads in 87 and 30 in the relay socket to check relay with key off, 0, with key on 24 amp. With the high reading I figured I'd replace the fuel pump. I STILL get a high reading and a #6 blown fuse! I am now going to check all my grounds. If you have any ideas please let me know Thank you.

Mike,
Are you counting the fuse location from the front to the rear or from rear to the front? The fuse for the SC fuel pump is designated as FUSE #16 (fuse #1 closest to the front bumper). So it is the 16th fuse from #1.
However, if your counting from the wrong end, it is the 6th fuse. You need to use terminals #30 & #87a to test the FP amperage and not #30 & #87 (these are for the starter).
