86 FSB won't start

I have the same problem. I got a can of ether and it starts, but stops immediately. Problem with mine is it is a wiring nightmare as they have bypassed all the realys and there are bare and stripped wires. I bought mine for $1250. I drove it home 30 miles. I washed the bottom of the engine with Gunk spray and I turned it on after about 30 minutes and it quit. She has not turned on ever since. I have replaced both ignition switches, rotor, distributor cap. The inertia switch has also been bypassed. The fuel pumps are directly wired to the fuse box. So I may just return it. Let me know what you do to get yours started. I also have fuel at the pumps, filter, fuel rails, regulator.

I tried as I could today and still no luck. I have fuel pressure. I have spark. It almost turns on with starting fluid, but it shuts off right away. Send me a pick of where you found the wire. And also I would appreciate a pick of your engine compartment to compare with mine. I may end up having another engine installed at the local bone yard. At least you got your started.

Psi at the rail is 40 with the pumps grounded. When trying to start it psi is about 39. I just can't figure out what is wrong.

Ok I will try this one. Also when I hook up a regular test light both wires show they have power. When I rented a test kit for injectors the light would not turn on until it would almost start. ANd yes the light would flash.

Okay guys I got her started finally. I believe the coil pack burned out. BUT, after using ether to start her, the mechanic says it lost compression for start up, so now it's hard to start. Now I will probably go buy a new engine at the local bone yard since it is cheaper. Maybe I will replace it with a Windsor. Thanks for all the help guys.
