You didn't address my question concerning the fuel in the tank. Have you drained the tank or are you trying to use the old fuel?
BTW, It looks like I gave away the fuel injectors that lived in my garage when I gave away Big Blue. God I miss that truck

That will be a waste of time and money. All the important stuff is inside the injector. All you will accomplish is making them slightly prettier then they were before.

After we got new injectors and put everything back on . We thought we would have it solved,,we now we have another problem we have no spark now. I have changed the coil , Icm and the motor has a new dizzy in it also. I am getting fire to the coil but nothing coming out of the coil.We had spark before we tore the intake and injectors down to replace them. we also bought a fuel pressure gauge and its reading 37 at the rail.

we got it to fire a couple of times today. It seemed to want to start when I let off the ignition key,not while I was holding it. Talk to mechanic close to where I live he is thinking either the dist. or the computer is bad. I know the dist. is new but i guess we could have got a bad one. I checked for the wires being broken or bare found nothing.Could it be the computer?

Update!
Blueoval and I put in the used injectors, bought a fuel pressure tester, all is working correct up the fuel rail now, getting the fuel, good pressure, now there is no fire to the plugs, truck has new distributor, new coil, Put the old coil ban on it started to fire but Intermittently, with an inline spark tester on the old coil spark was showing in the spark window[blinking] but intermittently, would spark three times, stop for a few seconds start back sparking for two blinks, then stop again, on and on like this. the new coil would not blink at all but the old coil did blink. so ban new coil, the didtributor was a re-manufactured one we are thinking it may be bad also, It was under warrenty,another one will be in Thursday. will try to start it then.
