Let's talk spider injection

Just an FYI - I replaced my CPI unit with a Delco MFI. Noticed a slight improvement in throttle response so I was happy. About a month after the replacement I started having "extended cranking" issues like a fuel pressure regulator or fuel pump bleeding down which I could see by leaving my...
