Thanks for the information, if the fuel pump needs replacing, I'll know why. So, back to the original question to the old gas not firing, does anyone have experience with this? I'm leaning on the experience of the community to get the car fired up. any help in that vein would be appreciated.

Bummer. I have been looking forward to your engine running.
Have you left anything off or unconnected, like the tranny?
When I do my bearing I hope to be able to start the motor without the tranny installed. I was wondering if you are trying that.

Is it possible to see if the throttle body motor is working? When I start my Box it always starts with a little blip on the throttle ( from the ECU, not me).

Those windows are bugging me. Are all your grounding straps installed?
