*****UPDATE***** 4-10-08

Got it to run and stay running for a second...but got worried when fuel pressure went to and stayed at 70 PSI At first we couldn't get the TPS voltage to register anything less than 5+ volts on 2 of the 3 wires so we spliced a ground into pin #46 of the main harness coming out of the computer, and went straight to the frame where we grounded the computer. Thought the starter was bad as everytime we went to try and start it, it would try to KEEP on cranking even when the key was released to the "run" position, got that figured out (new ignition switch, AND starter solenoid was sticking as it was mounted UPSIDE down on the underside of the fender apron (in fenderwell) NOW mounted to the area BEHIND the batter on inner fender well. Plugs were getting fouled like a MFR as well (with 70PSI) so we replaced them.

Also got the exhaust brackets fabbed/mounted and exhaust is DONE for now (till I get some more $$$ for some nice borlas or dynomax ultraflos.

Once we get the pump/regulator issue fixed we can get the timing set properly and then get relay etc for the electric fan and tidy up the interior and then it's time to go bust some A$$e$

once I get the high fuel pressure issue resolved (70 PSI) I'll let it run long enough to set the timing...as it sits it is fouling plugs out QUICKLY. I think as others have suggested that the return line may be the culprit...with a bend/crimp or some other obstruction. If it's raining here tomorrow I'll see if I can take a look at it. Spring is here and my landscaping bidness is going full bore.
