I got the motor in the car. I need to know if you had any problems with the firing order (or ignition system).

It's not grounding the injectors. I have spark and compression, no fuel. I have good fuel pressure and I manually tested the injectors, they work. Does the ECM grounds connect to the back of the engine? I have thinking that I didn't clean the connectors as well as I thought and the ECM may not have a good enough ground.Comment

you should have some grounds on the back of the heads, and a braided strap from teh firewall to the engine.1978 Formula 461 in progress of being built :rock:

Yes, they were all connected but between the rust on the studs and the paint on the motor, hopefully that was the problem.Comment

Luckily, the hood was off and I managed to get the car outside. The injectors, injector wiring harness, injector rail, driver side headlight assembly, fuel pressure gauge, headlight wiring harness, power steering switch, windshield washer reservoir, detent cable and battery were not so lucky.
