I'm having an issue with my project 1984 Ford Ranger 2.8 L. I've upload a video of the issue here.

After starting up, the engine stalls after a few seconds. I've adjusted the timing to get max manifold vacuum (need to borrow a timing light) and it's holding steady around 19 inHg.

The engine bay is currently a mess, but it's using CFI from a Cougar 3.8L, a fairly common swap. It's also running straight off the manifold w/o an exhaust yet.

Does anybody know what could cause this, or is there anything that I should be checking? Any leads would be helpful.

Edit: I've tested the fuel pump after installing it (with the ignition ON and engine OFF) and it was providing 40psi. I will test it again w/ the engine running once the auto store opens tomorrow and rent a fuel pressure tester...
