Starting Problems


ok I've been playing with the 1973 and drove it around the block today and everything was good just took it easy only went 2 blocks and came back home. Got into driveway and got out to lift the hood and truck died and I haven't been able to start it since. I added 4gal of fuel to tank to make sure draw straw was pulling fuel. I can pump fuel pump primer and get 16+ psi on gauge but when I open injectors very little comes out when engine is cranked ? Any suggestions ?

Truck has started easy up until this point. I have only driven it a few blocks and came home with no other problems. Just trying to get a feel for truck.

When I did swap I killed KDP and advanced the timing 1 tooth and retarded the pump to just under the factory mark since I'm still running factory IC injectors. I also ran a 12v jumper wire to the fuel stop and it still wouldn't start .

I'm open to all suggestion ?

sounds like the fuel shutoff solenoid failed, take it out and check operation
