Car sat for 18 years. The gas was like varnish/tar. I changed the tanks, blew out all fuel lines, both fuel pumps, fuel filter, air filter, cap, rotor, plugs, wires, cleaned the fuel distributer, new coil, and fresh gas. It won't run.
The car actually ran before all parts replacement. Before I replaced anything I just put fresh gas in it and it ran and drove. You couldn't put the engine under a load or it would fall all over itself. After blocking 4 auxillary fuel filters with the massive amount of trash and sediment from the tank. I felt there was no chance of simply flushing. I decided to just go over the whole system and clean and or replace all parts.
Now it won't run at all. I have 125 to 130lbs of compression. I have spark. I never touched anything regaurding timing. I pulled out the plugs and they are soaked with fuel. I installed new plugs and after several starting attempts the new plugs are soaked again. I even sprayed a little ether into the air box, but nothing, not even a blubber.
Is it possible I have too much fuel pressure? I'm not sure what the fuel pressure should be, nor am I sure where to check it or how. All fuel lines have banjo fittings and I don't even know how to plumb a guage in. I am really starting to get frustrated. Any advice would be helpful.
