Having difficulties posting the video but she runs. I don’t have the gauges yet but was not going to start it without having an oil pressure gauge. Got an analog gauge from Oreillys with a bunch of fittings to get us what we needed. Hooked it up. Drank a beer. Had issues with hooking up the power steering and didn’t want to burn the pump up. Pulled the belt off, drank a beer. Put gas in the relocated tank and found out there was a missing fitting. Buddy held his finger in it while we searched and finally found the correct NPT fitting. Cleaned up the fuel and put 2 fans in the garage to get the fumes out. Drank a couple of beers. Fuel rail brackets do not line up so we thought we had them secured enough for a 5 second run. Blew them off 3x with 60 psi adding zip ties until secured. There were beers drank between each episode. Transmission does not have the driveshaft installed so as we started to crank, spray tranny fluid everywhere. Get a bucket, drink a beer or 2. Hit the hot wire to the battery and she cranks with 50 psi oil pressure. Shut it off. High fives. Drink too many beers!
