No ballast resistor.
Fuel pump continuously runs with jumper in relay socket. It does not run with relay in relay socket, regardless if cranking or not. As for if it runs with jumper while cranking, I couldn't tell you on the grounds that it cranks way too loud for me to hear the pump. However, now that the fuel pressure gauge is connected to throttle body, I can check to verify it is continuously running while cranking with jumper.
I believe I do have a WOT. It's the small rectangular component that has a silver latch-looking thing that is hit by the throttle linkage, yes?
Edit: Yes, while cranking, fuel pump retains 14-15PSI with jumper relay.
