Ron,
Test drive today. With timing corrected and fuel pressure improved the engine idles much smoothly. It will hold highway speed without losing power. The engine still lacks power and there is a hesitation when I kick the accelerator. It also develops a noticeable miss after dropping into passing gear. I tried the Clear Flooded Engine Test after the test drive. That was a FAIL. I also let the beast sit and idle a few minutes. It sounded smooth but after 2-3 minutes the engine idled up then down, then leveled out, then idled up and back down to a stall. I can try the test you suggest to locate the leaking injector. Is this the next best step given results so far?
