Had a '61 for 10 years, back in the 70's, bought an '89 convertible last Nov. Spent the winter replacing things, because it's 37 years old and a pathetic Carfax. It is a good example of a fairly well taken care of car w/decent original paint and no apparent accidents. Am used to old school, carburetor/air/ignition, this TP! has me scratching my 75 year old head but I am learning. I drove it over an hour home after purchase, then it went directly in the garage, over the last month I have replaced the injectors w/Bosch111's, replaced the fuel pump, new filter and new diaphragm in the fpr and I am only getting 30# of fuel pressure, starts hard and is a dog. This weekend I put the old fuel pump back in, installed a new diaphragm, their appeared to be nothing wrong w/the old one, and I still get only 30#. After I prime the lines, w/30# it doesn't all bleed off like I see some video's, after 10 minutes I lose about 5#'s. Love the car but am not enjoying driving it, any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
