Fuel Problem
I have a tbi stealth ram set up with fuel rail and return line on 1979 C3. Replaced the fuel pressure regulator and new electric fuel pump and the car still starts hard and wants to die on take off?

So, apparently your car suddenly started with this issue of starting hard and dies on take off??
So, then for some unknown reason you thought replacement of the fuel pump and regulator was the required fix?
And this was determined how?
So sorry, really hard to help as we have no back story here at all. No clue of when this started. Or what previous trouble shooting was done.
So, in an effort to help. What is your fuel pressure? Why did you change the pump And the regulator? What was the fuel pressure before you changed the pump?
