    Fuel Pressure too high

    I am trying to find out why my transplanted 84 t-type motor is running so rich. Hooked up a fuel pressure guage today and when idleing I have 85-88 psi. That would do it! When the key is turned off it goes back down to 42 where it is supposed to be set. This is without the vaccum line...
