fuel delivery? 200 1979

car is very sluggish after a year layoff. fuel pump was bad before it quit running a couple of years ago, so putting a used one in got it started.

seems to be running on cyclinders 3 and 4 only (car dies if I pull the plug on either of these cylinders).

car remains running the same, if I pull either cylinder 1 or 2 plugs.

took off the number one fuel injector. cranked it, no gas.

then actually unscrewed the injector. cranked it. no gas there.

fuel distributor?

before i got the car half way running. I followed a suggestion on this board to load up the fule filter with injector cleaner, and run it.

which seemed to help a bit, as it seemed to get cylinder 3 running.

have a parts car handy, thinking about just swapping in the whole intake and fuel distributor from it.

of course, this car hasn't run in about a year either. it died from a thrown rod.

thanks in advance for any advice
