The K-Jet mechanical fuel injection was used into the 80's on some cars.

I've never taken apart the fuel distributor. Did you test the spray volume and pattern of the injectors? If you think it's a fuel problem, it might be something to consider doing. Bentley says that if you get bad volume or a bad pattern with one injector, swap injectors with another cylinder, and try again. If the same injector is bad when it's on a different cylinder, it's probably the injector. If the same cylinder is bad with a an injector that worked a minute ago on a different cylinder, then the likely suspect is the fuel distributor.

To run the pumps without the engine, jump #87 (or 87/2) and #30 terminals on the fuel relay plug. (We made a swiched jumper and hung it on the blinker switch during the test so we could turn the pumps on and off easily.) First remove the bellows below the throttle body. Lift the air sensor plate by grabbing the center nut with pliers to run the injectors. We taped four beer bottles to a board to use as fuel measuring devices. Run the pumps at various speeds and watch the injectors carefully. We filled the bottles about 1/3 full, then stood them all up to compare volume. Then we pointed all the injectors into a bigger open container and ran the pumps to watch the patterns. Fun test, but much safer with two people. Have lots of ventilation if you do this.
