Is it Carb or FI?

Fi

The click you hear is the kickdown switch for the transmission. Completely normal.

Try replacing the fusible links with cartidge fuses 30-40-30 Amp, sometimes they get corroded and don't have a good connection.

Did you pull the fuel line to the rail and see if gas came out when you cranked it?

Did you check for spark by pulling a plug wire and seeing the spark?
