That whole experience alone, is worth the cost and work of installing an electric fuel pump in tandem with the mechanical.
Even if the efp doesn't do much of anything else, if it saves you from that, it's worth it.
If you 'removed every wire from the relay on the fender, and it still does it'.... Are you sure you were working with the starter relay?
On an 85, I believe the glow plug relay sits in the same vicinity, and looks like the starter solenoid.
Could you take some pics for us?
I would buy one of these in a heartbeat if I could afford it. And be available to do timing for others.

Put down two or more tarps and the tarps at least stand SOME chance of slipping on each other...
