I haven't had a chance to post pictures of my new project. I received a check from the insurance and I bought the car back. The engine has less than 2k miles since the rebuild. I found another car with a great body and a bad engine, I am in the process of removing the engine from that car and I will be installing my old car's engine, suspension, tranny etc.

here is a pict of the new car

Engine runs, but there is milkshake. The headers are craked and the front windshield too. But the body is in great shape and the interior is just awesome. I bought the car for $ 2650.00.

With a new Bosch 3bar FPR, I conducted the fuel press test as per Clarks Fuel-01. Press jumped to 45psi at start, idle pulsations regular from 38-43, and leakdown to 40psi.

When I removed the headers, the connector part came loose.
