Looked at the injectors. No gas. Pump pressure at 9 PSI. Maybe pressure regulator is bypassing too much gas. Clamped off bypass hose. No change. Got pissed off. Went in the house for some Scotch. So tomorrow I'm putting a hose from the pump. Into a gas can. Maybe the socks in the tanks are part of my problem. BUT. Why did it run great an hour before? Need more Scotch. Bob Dunahugh

​BoB, Check your distributor connection to the ECM.
If it does not receive the signal that the engine is turning, it will not
inject.
Distributor cap needs to have a new plastic clip to keep from falling off.​

Scotch (or Bourbon) frequently helps... slows you down & allows one to think.

JWID sometimes, John
