    Anyone got a 1991 Needle cluster?

    I believe I have one if you still need one

    Sport Door Emblem

    I found that the part # for the Sport bowtie is actually on the back of the regular ones, too

    I responded the same to your other thread, if you want to move there

    112 on the freeway seems a bit high for a 75 ambient temp. Mine typically is around 85-95 on a 75 degree day

    Hard Start in 96 454. Please Help, this is a doozy

    And I posted in your other thread, but I'll repost here. Your S1 O2s are fine voltage wise, they jump around when in an open loop. The B2S2 seemed high and may be bad, but that won't affect fuel trim. What it COULD be telling you is that you have a clogged cat, which WILL affect driveability...

    Hard Start in 96 454. Please Help, this is a doozy

    I still say that trying the 350 FPR may be your best bet. Mine required a little throttle to start until I swapped it out. I'm really not sure why they list a 3 bar regulator for the 454 (GP Sorensen #800-329), when the spec is 4 bar, but they do (at AutoZone, at least). The 350 reg is 4 bar (GP...

    S1 voltage is supposed to jump all over, its called an open loop. S2 is only for cat monitoring, so it has no effect on driveability, but it looks like your B2S2 is bad. Timing looks good. IAT seems pretty high.

    As long as your lines, etc are sealed. That's what I mentioned earlier. The line pre-regulator will have considerably more pressure, I believe the free-flow pressure is above 100PSI

    Yes, you can safely cycle the pump with the upper plenum off

    You changed the injectors without removing the rail?

    Could be as simple as a loose line that is only losing pressure and no noticeable fluid. It's possible, I've been there. The first time I ran into it was after doing the spider on the 350, it drove me nuts. I could smell fuel, it wouldn't start right away, and it idled rough. I finally just...

    Pressure gauge is still the best tester. After running, your pressure should hold within 2 PSI for at least 10 minutes

    The FPR and lines right at the rail is a good start, it's easy to get that FPR not fully seated. Did you put the snap ring back in? Did you install the injectors with the orings dry or did you lube them a little?

    Double check all of your lines, make sure they're tight. Even if it's not puddling, it could be bleeding pressure and causing a hard start, had that issue a couple times with small blocks I did spiders on. They'd take awhile to start and run rough
