Fuel lines are on (altho not my ideal routing), injectors are in with the fuel rail, and it has coolant. Now to trace down an issue with my wiring. Seems the solid red wire behind the radio (labeled permanent power on the schematic) isn't giving me permanent power...so my gauges no worky...

Lookin good, but why did I think you were going for an AM fuel rail?

Time to start dialing in the ride height. Don't know exactly where I want it yet, but I do know the front is way too low. The rear seems to be about right! This is the first time it's been on its own wheels in about 4 months.

Great wheels! Good luck with the first start! When are you turning the key?

Don't know yet. I installed an adjustable FPR so I'm waiting on a fuel pressure gauge to arrive, and also some caps are in the mail to cap off some vacuum ports I'm no longer using. Hopefully I can turn the key either this week or this weekend.
