Thanks for the input, I think this is what this list is about. SO - I went
down and sure enough, 1 and 2 were wired wrong. So - I dried things out
again and tried to run. It ran for 20 seconds and flooded again. So I know
the problem - well maybe. Sounds like:
1. Bad fuel regulator
2. Injectors open all the time
The only clues would be that this all started when I tried to pump fuel
through the gas line in the engine compartment. I did this because of water
in the gas. It was running great till then. So, then I started fooling
with it to get water out. In that process, I either did something wrong or
serendipity caused something to go in the middle of my fuel filtration
efforts. Don't you hate it when that happens.
This is killing me time wise, but it is like a puzzle - and I thank all you
for helping me solve it.

PS - I have heard of a rescue society for travelers - I live in a huge old
house and have some tools. If any of you are stuck in the Philadelphia
area - don't hesitate to call. Hey - even if you are not stuck, stop on by.
There is a nice Brew Pub in my town of Media.

Another thing ... all injectors fire simultaneously so it doesn't matter
which injector gets which connector.
You could have a bad fuel pressure regulator ... that thing that sits right
on top of the engine in the middle ... that has fuel lines going to the
injectors, fuel input from the pump, and a vacuum line. A bad diaphram
could cause fuel to enter the engine through the vacuum line.
