Any advice on how to check it? Or just swap it out while im in there?

For the record, WitchHunter DOES provide new o-rings with the cleaning.

Well mine did not held vacum (bad diaphragm) you can use a vacumpump with gauge or a hose and suction a little and see if it holds.

Got the injectors back from WitchHunter.

Put everything back together, cleaned up the grounds under the intake. Sputtered for a while, would run for a few seconds at a time, but I kept at it, trying to keep the revs up

After re-starting it like 30 times, and smoking out the entire neighborhood with the ATF that was in the rotors, it runs!!!

It idled real sporadically at first, but after a while it smoothed out!

Now I have to figure out why my tach and water temp gauges aren't working. I saw a spade connector on the rear of the engine by the firewall that wasn't connected to anything, but couldn't find a plug for it. Might this be the coolant temp sensor?

I think I'm going to add an extra fuel filter between the tank and the pump. I'd rather try that before dropping the tank and getting it cleaned, although that might be necessary pretty soon.

Thanks for all the help guys. It means a lot to me!

Yellow/white wire with a single round female terminal (not spade) comes from gauge to left side of engine compartment near firewall. Connects to sending unit shaped like a miniature spark plug below the oil filter. Oil pressure is directly above it should have a Brown/yellow wire with the clip that slides sideways onto the terminal on the sending unit.

Is your 02 sensor connected? Thats the only connection that I can remember by the firewall.
