The 4.5 has come to life. Needed a bit more tweaking to get the fuel injection working correctly, but it starts and runs consistently now. I replaced every inch of rubber fuel line. Cleaned the injectors, trigger points, replaced the fuel pump (Airtex) and battery, cleaned the plugs and points and she's alive. Took a week, couple of hours each night after work. Not bad after sitting under a tarp for 13 years.

I let it run for a half hour. Temp stayed in range, oil pressure is good. No alternator light on, so it seems most systems are functioning - at least for now.

After warmup, the engine starts surging - the fuel pump is cutting in and out. Keeps running, but something is breaking down at temp. Any thoughts?

I am going to have to move it out of my driveway - the blue cloud is not going to make me popular with the neighbors...
