TBI dumping fuel

I got a 92 bird with 305 rebuilt the motor just dropped in, rebuilt the TBI and now when I turn the key it don't spray it dumps fuel literally. So is there something I missed on wiring or on the rebuild of the stock TBI

Re: TBI dumping fuel

Is it one injector or both. My guess would be a torn 0-ring or a ruptured diaphragm.

Either way, your going to need to rebuild your FPR. 99.9% chance it's going to be something wrong in your FPR

Edit: It should probably be called injector pod not FPR sorry

Re: TBI dumping fuel

Got the problem fixed it was the rubber O ring just below the screen. The kit I was given was short the two screens and the two O rings that sealed them now to the next problem
