I think I found my problem!!!
First off, when I got the car she didn't run, and fuel leaked out from the FD where someone had tried to r&r the fuel distributor.
So I removed and tore apart the fuel distributor, bought some permatex tacky gasket sealer, thinned it with lacquer thinner and proceeded to paint to two halves before I put it back together.
IT didn't leak! but still no start. After many cranking attempts the fd started leaking. This led me to believe that the fuel pressure was high. I checked the return to the tank, and it passed air without much effort.
So, I decided to pull the pressure regulator and warm up regulator, and mixture control and swap out. THAT's when i noticed that the warm up regulator had a second vacuum port on the bottom. At which point I immediately realized that someone had swapped vacuum lines. The one labeled atmosphere was going to the intake, and the one labeled intake was going to the atmosphere (atmosphere being the 25mm air lines)
So, as soon as the car starts, vacuum is applied to the atmosphere port of the warmup regulator, and the diaphragm is pulled to the lower stop, thereby increasing fuel pressure.
So I went to swap vacuum lines, but they are different sizes and it "Looks" like it's supposed to be that way. So I'm going to swap the two vacuum lines going to the warmup reg from the SLC to the SL.
MAybe later today.
