fuel help
I have a 85 13b f/i that I just got running. The car idles ok but wont rev out past 4000 rpm and when in gear wont go much above 2000 rpm. I tested the fuel pressure today, but wasnt sure that I was on the right line. Which one is the pressure line and which is the return? Thanks, Ryan

The Main fuel line is slightly larger than the return line. They both have rubber lines that connect to metal lines at the fire wall and on top of the engine. If your metal lines haven't been bent around, the line more towards the left side of the car is the main line. It is almost touching the oil filter. The return line is right next to it, but closer to the engine.

Well I have found out that my fuel pressure drops as I accelerate, so was hoping someone here could direct me from there.... To me it sounds like the pump cant keep up, but I dont want to spend $100 on a new pump if thats not the problem. What are the free things I can check before I buy a pump?
