16v fuel pumping woes

Ya know, I am not sure Blake and I don't have the same
problem - a stuck plunger.  I *assume* I have good
fuel delivery.  Why?  Because the coldstart injector
was leaking (before I retightened it) and later I
really could smell some HC.

I am determined to check the injector flow to make
absolutely sure the plunger isn't stuck.  I had that
distributor in every possible position - sideways and
upside down for some time.  I would not be surprised
if the plunger is stuck on a 1987 8v!

Thanks for calling me to my senses, Jim.  Gotta
confirm the basics first.
