the feed line comes from the Fuel filter up the driver's side, around the 
back of the motor, and screws in the fuel distributer about the 2 o-clock 
position when looking down on the distributor. takes a pretty large metric wrench. 

do you have a fuel pressure gauge? i would hook it up and jump the RPM relay 
and check your main line and control pressures and report back to us. also 
you can check the rate of fuel return to the tank. pull out the return line in 
the take and put it in a 1 qt jug. it should fill it up in 30 seconds i 
believe? check the shop manual in the fuel section to be sure, i haven't had to 
do this in like 3 years. but, this will tell you if you have a blockage in the 
lower chamber and delivery system.
