Gordy;
You may have the same problem I did, I replaced the exhaust manifold on my 75 Wagon and of course, the F.I. plenum has to come off. When I put it all back together, it wouldn't start. After getting a GM master mechanic (right John

) it turned out to be the sensor on the thermostat that was not fully seated and this was telling the ECU the wrong situation and basically it was "flooding", or in the F.I. case, too much fuel was being injected. We relieved the pressure (no jokes) and it started right up
