Oops, I see that now in your sig. Okay, starting in '70, with the key 
ON go to the engine and slowly open the throttle valve. As it opens, 
you should hear a series of clicks coming from the injectors. If you 
hear these, that's a pretty good indication that the FI is at least 
mostly working.

If you want to test further, turn the key OFF, turn the engine by 
turning the generator belt until the dist rotor moves 180 deg. Then 
repeat the test. If you get clicks in both cases, the FI must be in 
at least fairly good shape.

It can still have problems, but it is fundamentally working.

For a '70, pull the vac hose off the pressure sensor and attach a 
clean hose to it, so that you can suck on the other end. The pressure 
sensor should hold vacuum, at least for a moment. If you get a free 
flow of air, your pressure sensor diaphram is cracked.

And, of course, check that you have spark.

Let us know what you find
