Hello you generous and smart people!

The fuel return line was indeed pouring fuel into the intake manifold! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
At least that's the way it looks to me. I swapped the lines; One from the diaphragm on top of the IP with the the line which crosses the engine and goes to what I think is the evaporative emissions systems. On this engine there are two nipples on the back of the IP and one on top of the IP. One (right side - looking at engine from front) of the lines heads down, I assume back to the tank, the other hose now goes up and over the engine to the left (drivers) side of the engine compartment. I want to write this again just so I can be positive of what I am doing. The steel pipe on top of the injector pump in what looks like a diaphragm housing goes to the steel pipe on the intake manifold right after the rubber 90 degree elbow which goes directly to the turbo air output. This makes a heck of a lot more sense than the way I routed it. So much so, that I reassembled the air ducts to and from the turbo. I haven't tried to start it up yet, but I think I'm ready now.

Yes, Crossbones I did remove the elbow between the turbo and the intake manifold. However, I did not notice an adjuster there. Oh wait, you say it's by the fuel cut-off solenoid. Let me go look now. What does this adjustment do?

I am getting excited and nervous at the same time. So much is riding on whether the engine sounds good or terrible. At this point I guess I will find out if I have a good body for a swap or a running system that only needs minor work and some tweaks. 60/40 excited/scared, maybe 50-50, can't tell. All I know is I feel this light buzz deep down inside. Buzzes are good, right?
Sincerely,
Brian Rodgers
