Background: 1.7 liter which has been upgraded with new pistons and cylinders, original fuel injection. Car started and ran, then stalled and would not restart. Covid hit so it sat for a while. Now at mechanics shop where they have replaced the fuel pump (rebuilt original) and the manifold pressure sensor (rebuilt).

Engine has low manifold vacuum, 10-12" and will not start. If they apply 15-18" of vacuum with a vacuum pump it starts right up and will run fine for 20-30 minutes (on pump), then stalls. If they attempt to restart, it backfires and will not restart until cold.

Any suggestions on what to check or what next step should be?
