I'm still trying to get my 86 syncro running again. Mike Drillock has been exrtemely helpful having me run tests!
 Almost everything was running fine until I adjusted the valves, they are adjusted properly now and I have great compression in all cylinders (ooops I hadn't correctly lined up  a push rod tube).

 What wasn't fine until the adjustment was the van would stall after running it for around 15 minutes, almost as if it had run out of gas. Once I had to get it towed, another time I banged on the fuel pump and replugged the wires after unplugging them, eventually the van started and I made it home....not sure if the banging did anything.

The valves are fine, the plugs are new, as well as the fuel filter, fuel pump ( you can hear it whirrr), cap, rotor....I'm getting good blue spark.

Last test Mark had me do was testing the fuel pressure at the T on top of the engine. I did not get a reading at all! Either the brand new vacuum fuel gauge is not working or I'm not really getting any pressure. So what could the problem be?
 Seems to me if  pressure was present I should have seen gas spray out when I took out the tiny screw from the T.

Any one near Albany NY want to come over and help me figure this one out!?

Thank you, Andy
