I just finished up putting a 88 t2 engine into an 88 gtu and it has compression and spark but doesnt seem to be getting any fuel. I have a defi fuel pressure gauge installed after the fuel filter and it says it has adequate fuel pressure (70-80psi), but when i try to start the engine it just turns over and over and over and never even tries to start. Also, if i turn it over for a while it doesnt seem to smell like gas in the garage? and i can only smell the marvel mystery oil i poured in the engine if i put my nose right up to the tail pipe after i try to start it. Anyone have any ideas what it could be or had a similiar problem? any kind of help or ideas is greatly appreciated! thanks!
