Fuel is definitely getting to the 'fuel distributor' because I had a leak in the cold start valve fuel line and fuel was abundant. That is, I'm confident everything before the fuel distributor is pressurized. However, the car was not starting (this is after a full engine rebuild) so I pulled a fuel injector to check spray pattern and it was non-existent. Also note that the car will "run" is I spray some starting fluid into the intake manifold - so I think the missing piece is simply the fuel.
I really am afraid to tinker with the fuel distributor so I'm asking here first. Thoughts?
