The manual is a must if you want to keep the car. I saw the Haynes manual on Amazon the other day for under $15 US. As far as your curent needs, I would trace out some of the wiring to determine if you are getting current to the correct locations like the distributor. The wiring is not that bad to trace so make sure that you get current to needed parts first and after the car gets running you can figure out where the remaining wires go. If you know that you are getting current to the distributor then the fault is between the distributor and the plugs. Just follow the process of elimination.
As for the fuel system, I will let some of the fuel injected gurus anwser that one. ( I prefer carbs ). On my 1966, (which has Carbs) I installed a clear fuel filter just before the machanical pump which makes it easy to see if the pump is pulling in fuel from the tank. After a long sit you are almost sure to have rust in the fuel line and the tank. To test the line, you could disconnect between the tank and front end so that you should be dealing with only an open line, blow through the line with an air hose. You may be surprised to find that the line is plugged. Once you are sure that fuel can flow the entire distance, then you can worry with the fuel pump and injectors. My 1800 also sat for 10+ years and the fuel line was completely packed with rust. I used WD40 and a good air hose to clear it out. I also took out the fuel tank and had it cleaned at the local radiator shop.
Have patience, you will enjoy the auto for years when you get it running. Good luck with the project.....
