What I did: primed the oil system from plug on side of block/oil galley. Connected battery and looked for leaking smoke. Felt all the power wires for warmth. All good, then did a few key on fuel pump cycles. Yep, pump cycled and showed me all the leaks (I had a few). then I bleed the air out of the line via the Schrader valve on the fuel rail. I turned the key to start and it fired up instantly...My so was amazed as was I.

I should note that when I first connected the battery and saw a spark, I was worried. Only reason it should spark is because there is load or current draw. Hmmm, what could it be? Oh yeah, the headlight switch was on from installing the gauge cluster. Reconnected the battery, still a small spark. Dang, what now...oh, the door was open...sheesh.
