Just fired up the engine. I had to stab the distribator a few times but got it running. Sounds mean as hell. But I got the fuel pressure at 40 psi but to start it after the first time I had to hold the pedel to the floor then it started. Do I have to much fuel pressure? Also what is the break in for the motor?
Finally got engine running. Got a few ?'s

When you put the gas pedal to the floor, you're cutting fuel to the injectors... Meaning it's dumping too much fuel on start up. Try backing out the fuel pressure, or getting a PMS so you can tune things of this nature.
So back it down to 38 psi and see if that helps. I have timing at 18 degrees advanced. I have ran it for only 10 mins at max I am going to change oil. Then I am going to break the motor in. I searched the threads and I have read to gradually run up the RPM's to about 4000 in 2nd or 3rd gear and let the car slow down by the RPM's. Does this sound right?
