i can get a great deal on this 82 320 if i can get it running. it had a missing injector, no relays and a chopped distributor wire. i've spliced in a new wire and got the car to idle for a few seconds on carb cleaner, but it may be out of gas.

now i replaced all relays but the two under the fuse box lid that aren't mounted into the "bank" of fuses and relays. (a squarish one and a rectangular one) i THINK the one squarish relay w/ three prongs is the fuel injection relay. if so i've found post on how to bridge this one. but what does the other relay do? this rectangular one with 5 plugs does what? and what would i need to do to bridge it or make it work, i suspect the local pep boys won't have these relays.

i'd greatly appreciate any help/suggestions. i know the guy whos junkyard it is and he said it ran, before this vandilization. thanks alot.
