Hi Greg

Make sure ya got fuel pressure. You may have to prime
the pump with the prime lead hangin from the relay or
on the aldl connector. Let it run for a bit to circulate
fuel..

A can or two of injector cleaner in the gas tank 
would prob also help. As the injectors might have
been sitting too long and gotten lazy.

If all else fails quickstart in moderation. Unplug the
CTC if you really want to richen up the mix.
