Default Corvette82

Hello, I'm reaching out see if I can get any suggestions help with my 82 corvette. I'm having an issue with the engine remaining on and holding steady. When I start up the engine it turns on, but after 1 or 2 pumps to the gas it turns off. One of the cross fire which is in the driver side (rear) one doesnt shoot out any gas. I thought it was the fuel injector so I replace it and still no gas shooting out. When I first bought it it started and test drove it. At the time it was low on fuel so I decided to put 91 gas in it and did not flush it out. Did make a mistake by not doing that or am I not getting enough voltage to my fuel injector, also the battery is brand new. If someone out there could give me some help or advice on what to do I'd really appreciate it. I bought it 7 months ago and did

Hello, you already have another identical thread started on this subject a day ago and people already responded to you there. Here is a link for it if you cant find it.

Please do not create multiple threads asking the same question its frowned upon here as it makes things confusing.
