[T2] Sat and the bus in Baltimore

[accessys at smart.net]

ok fuel presure holds steady at 34psi
removed 3/4 injectors checked spray pattern
hyd lifhters set 1.5 turns in 
timing set at 7.5BTDC

distributor was built backwards so #1 is at 10oclock (has been like that 
for years and we did double check it.) when we put in spare dist gap was 
set to spec, (can't remember but looked it up) and wires were reconfigured 
to #1 at 4 oclock
is
T4
crane high output ignition (but we tried it with a stock unit)
hyd valves
trigger wire on term 1

all other wires were compared to running bus backed up to mine and in same 
places
double checked operation of double relay
checked fuel pump operation and presure

engine has run which is worst part.
