This thing they call work is keeping me from getting done and helping me finish all at the same time. Toyota? C'mon Steve, Id have to get one of those VWs with the sneaky computer!

No doubt Captain! Only glitch was having the supply and regulator return lines reversed at the tank. Wasn't even planning on trying but realized all I had to do was connect 3 wires to the computer. It actually kinda scared my Son and I when it lit. So much so that I had him shut it down almost immediately.

Thats the very next thing on the list - getting all of the gauges connected! I did prime the engine with a gauge on it but pulled it off to install the engine. Just a little more pipe work!
