there should be a port by the firewall on the fuel line

for a gauge you can borrow one from the auto parts if they have the borrow program or you can buy 1

if you test it the pressure should be at 15 to 16 psi at least

If the TBI unit isn't getting a signal from the computer, then the injectors will not open. Make sure the wiring is good. If it is, time for some testing ...

If it is "horribly out of time" make sure you got the plug wires in the right way. The #1 starts on the oppisite side of the block on the 2.8L compared to normal chevys. And 1 starts on the distributor cap at 7 oclock and goes around 2,3,4,5,6 clockwise.
