1972 1.7 not starting Options

[ctkellett]

I bought a stock running project car with a bad tail shift transmission. I pulled the motor and replaced the transmission with a freshly rebuilt side shift unit from 914 LTD.

After the reinstall I am not able to get the car running again.

Things that I have double checked

-Fuel Pump runs and primes when the ignition gets switched on at the key
-confirmed spark at the coil and at the plug with motor cranks
-can hear the injectors pump once while the fuel pump is priming and when you step on the gas pedal once.
-confirm that the timing is set correctly, that the points are gapped correctly.
- the car will run briefly on starter fluid.

Any thoughts? Maybe and ECU issue? Where do the injectors get the signal to fire?

Thanks!

ck,
I was referring to the fuel lines that connect to the engine from the tank. The supply should be hooked to the passenger side fuel injection rail, then run over to the driver's side and then to the fuel pressure regulator, and finally to the other line on the passenger side going to the tank that should be the return. To make sure you have the supply line properly identified, loosen and remove the line you now have going to the passenger side fuel rail and put a glass/plastic bottle under it. Turn the key on for the 1.5 second prime and see if you have fuel coming out of the line from the tank. If so, then you have them hooked up right. If no gas, reverse them and see what happens.
