[T3] Crate was a No start....

[Mike VW]

Sorry for Hijacking this topic. 

Bob that sounds like what I'm probably going to have to do. I am running J-tubes and a pos Monza exhaust and it is just throwing out to much heat into the engine bay. It should be an 8 psi fuel pressure that I will need right? I just relocated my filter to underneath by the trans. I haven't driven her yet to see how much of a difference if any it made.
thank you Bob
