yea it just dies.. like looses all power.. No I can't check the fuel pressure yet, no guage.. exhaust leak is fixed, thanks!! But still runnin a lil funny... The fuel pump sounds like it stays on after I turn the key to on without turnnin the car on.. but I know this cars history and im pretty sure no one hooked it up to a strait power source or w/e... Any idea? And what is the best way to time the distributer without the timin gun/light..??

ANOTHER UPDATE: temp guage works, it's sayin it's warmin up faster... but the big thing still is that it has NO power... when I sit there an rev it its okay above 2k rpm anything lower and it just wants to die... I still can't check the fuel press. No Guage...
