SyncroBeast update.

Bud Premack and I towed her up to Dune Buggy for some professional help.
So far:

*  She's turning over.

*  Bill says he smells fuel, thought it was getting too much
   so put a regulator on.

*  No obvious leaks in the hoses.  They
   were all replaced by the dealer about 6 months before I shut her
   down.  Also got injectors at the time, I think due to a recall?

*  System does hold pressure.

*  We swapped in an alternate brain and an alternate AFM.

*  She still will not fire.  Well, Bill says she hit maybe 5-6 times
   but doesn't stay running.

History:

She sat for 3 years in the garage.  All the fuel leaked out thru the
corrosion on the pump and filter.  I had it runnning briefly (around the
block twice, different times), but not on all 4.  I went to back out at 3am
and she died in the driveway.  We haven't been able to get her to fire
since.

Any ideas, anything obvious we are missing??

*  Injectors?

*  needs new plugs? Dist. Cap?

*  deteriorated plug wires?

*  Any one know if the distributor from a '90 with Auto is the same??
   I have a spare.

I'm starting to get a little nervous here.
