Ok all, Rjm65 came over this morning to make sure I didn't throw my Fuel Distributor through my Windshield. I removed the FD just to make sure the O-Ring was there. We added a couple shims to get my System Pressure up, which worked very well. Ok, we did Control Pressure and Systems Pressures and all was good, but we still didn't get much flow to the Injectors. We did a good bleed down and still nothing.

Last ditch effort before I went psycho on my car, Rjm65 suggested to move my A/F Clockwise while the Fuel pump is jumpered till the Injectors started to make the singing noise. Did that and then went Lean 1/4 Turn. From my old A/F setting to the new setting was about 3-3/4 Turns to Rich. Cranked it over again and Walla! That was it! She idles like a champ. Waited till I got to operating temp and then adjusted the A/F to about 13.5

Just goes to show that the easy stuff is what we always forget. "Always go back to the Basics." Still can't figure out the slow throttle up hesitation issue, which it still does.

Now I just have to put my Smog Pump Belt back on and adjust my front shocks up about 1/2 inch. Then it's off to the Smog Station.
