2. Even if you ignore the sign problem, radiation in a vector theory
is emitted at a much faster rate than in a tensor theory like general
relativity. For a pair of masses in GR, radiation depends on the rate
of change of the quadrupole moment. For a pair of charges in
Maxwell's theory, or a pair of masses in a vector theory of gravity,
the radiation rate depends on the rate of change of the (much larger)
dipole moment. This leads to predictions of gravitational radiation
that disagree severely with observed decays of binary pulsar orbits.

Plus planetary orbits would not persist for 5 billion years.
