that ovp has at least two circuits in it,when the one feeding the f.i. computer drops out the car is running in limp mode.i would replace the ovp just on principal first.your car has the fuel distributor with the black eha screwed to the side and when you start car the computer sends signal [40-60ma]to get enough fuel to start.if no power to comp----you get the picture.the other thing you can do is to use a 3mm allen at the tower in front of distributor and push down and twist about a 30deg turn clockwise which should make rich enough for starting.hopefully the ball bearing in top of tower has been removed.
