Sorry for the hijack. thanks for any answers to my questions!!!

yes the truck manifold has a built in regulator. mine also has a return line as well. no need for the corvette stuff.

First just raise the injectors unhook all but one, with somebody cranking the engine tap on the side of the hooked up injector it will spurt fuel after some tapping. I put a towel down under them. unhook this one and go tothe next injector go all the way around till all 8 haf shot fuel.
reinstall the fuel rail and injectors and hook up the wires I bet it will start right up.
this is of course provided you do have pressure and an injector pulse.
Good luck
Dave

yeah i just intentionally hand out wrong information for the fun of it. Like I said above thats what I was told by someone on this forum when my engine didnt start. I was wrong and people corrected me...no big deal

Thanks to all who helped with your suggestions, I got it to start. What a day. I just got my new injectors and cant wait to see how it runs with them. They look a lot better then the pnes that are in it.
