I fixed the injectors not pulsing (well, everyone else told me what to do and I turned the wrench) in this thread: The oil rings are tricky to align and space the gaps. Thank goodness I bought the Tom Monroe book, How to Rebuild the L motor. Glad you got everything, it's a Christmas Miracle! Gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling...no wait that's the eggnog.

January 20, 20187 yr Author comment_540310 Finally got the car passed smog today! After a whole lot of trouble including the cam sprocket coming off and bending my valves, the car is finally legal! I'm gonna start a "build" (if you can call it that) thread sometime soon. Thanks again for everyone's help.
