Not relevant to your problem, but I would check all the rubber fuel hoses before too long.
If they perish it can be expensive, and modern fuel with ethanol is very corrosive.
My TVR guy is changing mine every two years.

Sounds like grounding issues to me, have you tried running a temporary negative from the battery to test?
Someone may be able to confirm where the original ground point is.
