I am having a world of hurt. Car ran on Saturday. Drove it an hour. Got slightly warm and it ran rich the whole time. Crack in the dual tube elbow into the Manifold corrected last night.
Gapped at .017 to start. Waiting for dwell/vacuum/fp gauge/timing light in mail. Backfires and will not start. I have the ecu at 11, all electrical checks out, changed ht sensor and manifold sensor last night. Have one chinese relay but the rest are wehrle and good chinese one ran the fan so it seems OK All hoses new. Fuel hoses too. How serious is a poorly adjusted fps on the drivers side? I am sure mine is not on 29psig. I am wearing out my solenoid and maybe my ignition switch! Thanks! John Any ideas?

Check your points again. Make 100% sure the little ground strap in the dizzy isn't broken or the green wire didn't rub up against something grounding out. Sounds like that might have happened.
