Just back from a trip to California for Rachel's (my brothers step daughter) wedding in Piedmont. It was Larry and the boys first time to Northern California so we made a trip to Silicon Valley and toured the high-tech scene.

The fuel tank is back from being pressure tested so we are good to get the engine running on the ground again to make sure all the wiring we did is still functional.
For the fuel tank, we needed to modify it so it could accept the in-tank fuel pump from our donor car. The fuel system does a few things that make using the fuel pump a necessity if we want to use the vehicle computer as is. The anti-theft system shuts off the fuel pump through a fuel pump computer, and it also changes the pump pressure/fuel flow during various stages of fuel consumption like starting, idling, acceleration and coordinating with the EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) fuel to make sure the engine does not run too rich in fuel.
To mount the fuel pump we needed to enlarge the fuel pump hole to accept the donor car set up.
