Cool

Update: I have rerebuilt FD. I kept questioning my rebuild and think that it's 100%. I finally was able to get my helper (better half) to help me for a few minutes. I found that when I initally tried to start the car after the FD rerebuild, that it tried to start. After additional cranks it wouldn't fire at all. I found that by releasing some fuel pressure from the bottom of the FD (through the port pictured, ie. attached) that it would start for a couple of seconds till the fuel pressure built up again. It's definietely an over pressure, I will try to get a pressure reading and update soon. Any advice at this point. I need to know how the fuel pressure is regulated, and if there is a way to adjust or if I have to replace the bosch fuel pressure regulator.
