My thoughts, it sounds like you wired your fuel pump to the ignition side of the coil and are getting an interruption of power to the fuel pump every time the points open.

You may need to rewire your ignition switch circuit so the switch is before the ignition coil, not after as in a stock Model A. This way you will have a "clean" 6v to the fuel pump (or relay).

Hope that makes sense...
