After replacing the FP, I checked the fuel pressure, cycling the key on/off, and pressure would sit and hold at 38 PSI without dropping.
Car still wouldn't start, concluded the injectors were all plugged (had been sitting for years)

Put in a set of Bosch 3's from SB yesterday, bolted the rail down, hooked it up and wanted to check for leaks before assembling the runners, etc.

No leaks around the injectors, but noticed FP dropping about 1lb every 2 seconds till it get's to 10psi.

Seems kinda fast?

I'll call them tomorrow when they are open, just that I don't recall the pressure drop spec, and mu manual only shows balance test spec's.

Thanks.

I can't quite recall what my bosch 3's dropped at but i seem to remember pressure holding pretty well above 30. I can check mine again if you like but by that time I'm sure you'll have already talked to sb.

Thanks, but not necessary
I'll be able to call them in the morning.

Thought I'd give an update here...no issues with the injectors after all.

I pulled the rails this morning, and bolted them down to another intake laid on top of cardboard, over the intake in the car.

Pressured up a few times, looked for fuel drips..nothing.

Put my gauge on and sure enough...sinking quickly...well that's when I noticed the little bubbles coming out of the pressure release on the gauge..see the hose is old and stained dark, I guess it was too dark for me to noticed the bubbles Saturday evening.

Anyways, pulled the release valve, blew it out, put it back on...goes to 38,,,slowly drops to 30 and sits there forever...I can live with that

So how do she idle now? Did you notice an improvement since you installed the injectors?

8Mike9

I won't get a chance to put the runners and plenum on until Wed.

Thing is, it used to idle fine, so I don't expect any difference,

8Mike9 How is the car running since you change those injectors?

8Mike9

Awesome, the Bosch 3's are a tad noisy/....kinda sound like lifters loose with hood up, but idles sweet as can be.

Don't hesitate to call SBay...good stuff my man
