Well, I would start by fixing that leaking injector. Then I would clean up the plugs, and see how that works. I don't know that raw fuel would actually harm an oxygen sensor, but I am by no means an expert. Check for vacuum leaks too.

Ok, well, do the other stuff, and runs like **** isn't very easy to diagnose. Start with the plugs and vacuum leaks, then give us some more details. Like is it running rich or lean and other info like that. Anyhow, keep digging, its probably something simple if you had it up and going.

Re: Any ideas

Have you tried running the car with the stock 305 injectors again? It is my understanding that with the 350 injectors some prom tuning would be in order to even run properly. Did you pull the 02 sensor to check and see if is wet from fuel still?

Re: Any ideas

Ouch! Did you install new pushrods when you did your rebuild or use the stock ones?

Re: Any ideas

Huh.....well.....that sucks. Sorry about your luck. Definitely much worse than a vacuum leak.
