When the car is running is it running smoothly and no smoke?
What is the highest pressure the Electric Fuel Pump can put out? What is your Engine Mileage?

Is your fuel pump an auxiliary unit?

how are you testing the plugs on a workbench? are they the original loop plugs, or are they pencil plugs?

There have been two cases on this forum within the last six weeks of loop plugs being wired up incorrectly, resulting in them not working. The squiggly wires and porcelain insulators have to be in exactly the right places the get the current to flow thru the system. Do your squiggly wires get hot and glow red when the key is in the glow position. The glow should be readily visible in the dark, not so much in daylight.
