I don't have a fuel pressure gauge, I figured if the part wasn't expensive, or at least easy to get, I'd throw that at the problem instead of buying a new tool I'll use once.
I replaced the O2 sensor and checked the timing. I'm not sure the timing is accurate though, I just stuck the timing light on and looked without jumping any terminals on the distributor.
I pulled the air box off and found that behind the butterflies in the throttles is black, really black. So I figured that is was an excessive fuel kinda thing.
If I can find my compression gauge that's the next thing I need to check. Any other ideas?
Maybe I'll make a run to the wrecking yard this weekend and see if I can find a regulator off of a 7/4afe.

Thanks for the information,
Ken
