Re: lt1 swap fuel problem????
Are you running any type of fuel filter? It might be plugged. My LT1 that sat for many years before I fired it. I had to tap on the injectors to free them up to get the idle to smooth out by my fuel pressure was always where it was suppose to be. I'm using a fuel pump in the tank.
Did you run it by people on LT1swap? Good luck
