Both Injectors In My 82 W/crossfire Died

Yep, that could be the case also. Frankly, I would tear everything out of the distributor and make sure the connections on all the modules are seated firmly too. One bad connection at your ESC unit would cause failure.

Good Luck!

Thanks Guys, I will be back in the shop Friday and start with the first suggestion and work forward I will let you know. Ken

Well thank you guys again,
today I took everything out of the distributor cleaned all the connections, dialectic grease and replaced the tach feedback wire ( mice have been at it in two or three different places ) I hit the key and it started. I actually got it out on the road for about two miles. I had forgotten how good that V8 sounds. There is a little float in the front end, new link kit and a few front end parts should take care of that, my wife handed me a new license plate today, I think I will save the one that expired in 1993

Drive it and keep your fingers crossed. The mouse damaged wire was probably the culprit there.

You mentioned a stuck fuel pressure regulator in an '82'--how would you unstick it? Thanks--Steve

Try this tech article for adjusting the fuel pressure regulator.

Pete, Bill I am continuing our thread from 2005, I have moved to Florida and the car is here. Same problem. This time the fuse to the ecm got very hot and melted the plastic, did not burn out the fuse. With the key in run, I should have 12v at the distributor, I do not. My real question is why would the fuse get so hot that it would melt the plastic and not burn out the fuse. Would this fry the ecm?

blown fuse in the injector, bad connection at the distributor, runs for now, I look at the wiring and think, if there really was a Santa, he would replace it all for me.

I now work in a service capacity in electronics repair.
I have seen more than a few melted fuse holders without blown fuses. It is always related to low voltage conditions. As the input operating voltage on the equipment drops, the current going through the fuse goes up and starts getting things hot. I would check to make sure that all your battery connections are good and clean. then systematically go through the connectors and spray them with some contact cleaner to ensure a good connection.
