Well I checked in a little further and I think I've pinpointed this sound 
coming from the pressure regulator.  Is this normal?  The only thing I did 
to it was replace the fuel hose going from it to injector #1.  The car will 
start but will not stay going if I take my foot off the accelorator.  I did 
use all the right seal for the manifolds and I'm dang near positive that I 
set the timing right....lined up the far left mark on the pulley( / /// 
)with crankshaft pointer and lined up the notch on the rotor to the one on 
the edge of the distibutor body then reinstalled the distributor.  Used a 
timing light to make sure everything was on the up and up and it seemed to 
be.  The notch was lined up with crankcase but everyonce in a while danced a 
little from side to side.  This is not good is it?!?
Well I'm about to swallow my pride, what little there was, and take it to 
the mechanics.  Thought I would update you on my little saga.
Thanks for all the helpful tips!!!
