this kit has connector 72308 listed as the tbi part. i assume this bypasses the filter?
i am assuming that one of those hoses has ends the same size as the ones on the filter, and it would screw into the hard lines on either side. bypassing the filter.You must be registered for see images attachWild Guess: 72308 is TBI, all right. Specifically, the double one-barrel "CrossFire" TBI system of Camaros and 'Vettes.
Nothing in that set looks like what I'd expect for a single-two-barrel TBI system.
In place of the fuel filter:

There's another kind that screws into the supply hose at the rear of the throttle body. I can't find the adapter separately, but it's included with this gauge set:

Note that the included gauge is pretty close to useless with TBI because the scale goes to 100 psi, and a TBI runs at 9--13 psi originally.
Another issue is that the adapter--whichever one you end up using--has to have the matching fitting to the gauge you're using. There's at least two thread sizes of Schrader valve, and some fuel pressure gauges use quick-couplers instead of threaded fittings.
I went thru something like this two months ago. Mine ended up being the bottom of distributor broke and knocked timing out.It was still idling while I was looking at the fuel relay area for any indication of issues, and started stumbling and eventually died. It then would not restart
I could hold the pedal down and it would spit and sputter but never fully start.
So, update. Got it to run due a short time. Enough to get it into the shop and on the service ramps.
I did so by holding the gas pedal to the floor. It would spit and sputter but finally started. Rough at first but cleared up. I let it idle a while. Shutting it off and restarting a few times with success.

Does this new information point me in any specific direction?
