After flipping the starter for 10 seconds w/o the fuel pump relay to circulate the oil, I plugged the relay in, turned the key and held my breath.
2 seconds....3...4...5...BWAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
It's ALIVE!!!!!
Nice steady, even idle. Lifters are noisy, but they should quiet down after a few miles.

What an incredibly long way you've come Dave, from the "guy who'd never changed a spark plug!" Someone we all admire & I personally look up to!
Now get out & enjoy that '85 32v that you've worked so hard on!

Thanks for the kudos, everyone.
I still need to add coolant, steering ATF, and hunt around for any leaks (I've got a drip from the front fuel pressure damper fix - probably not tight enough).
I'm waiting for a formed oil hose to arrive tomorrow, too. I used a straight hose that's binding on the throttle linkage, so no driving until Tuesday.
I'm actually nervous to drive it. I haven't driven it since SITM '06.

Great news. I was wondering if you were going to get it running or not. Sounds like you still have a couple days of odds and ends to finish up, but at least she's running. ![thumbup](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/thumbup.gif)
