Then it occurred to me that -- Hey! -- I could just get a fuel pump and hook that up to the rail! I called the yard I usually go to, and the guy at the other end of the line said that I could have a pump for $35 if I pull it myself. I wasn't terribly keen on that, since (IIRC) I'd have to drop the tank to get a pump out of a Century, but then I remembered that the Corolla pump is accessed just by pulling the bottom cushion of the rear seat off and thought I should just try to get that instead.

The other side of the project (the one I still need to work out) is the electrical side. I could just pulse the individual injectors with a 9-volt or something, but it would be nice to be able to pulse all of them (or three of them, one bank at a time) equally so that I could do a flow test along with observing the spray pattern. I think I'm figuring it out, but it's slow. I've never before done anything significant with electrickery (thanks for that word, Stretch )
