Still no thread name change eh?

Anyways, I finished the exhaust system today and looked for radiator hoses at advance/autozone. Neither of them were very helpful.

things that need to be done before the engine runs:
-Harness! Wiring!
-radiator hoses connected to engine safely
-add coolant
-add oil

Physical things that need to happen for the car to move around
-brake lines bled
-transmission fluid
-clutch cable
-tach
-battery placed in rear hatch (previous owner already ran cable!)

Petty stuff:
-new hood - really screwed up one of the hood latch mounting holes
-rug
-pass. seat
-new windshield... this shouldn't be under petty stuff, and I may be able to get away with the big cracks for the weekend, but I really should get that taken care of.
-stereo? Difficult to travel effectively without it - worth the cost for me in alternator draw.

Questions:
Proper procedure for breaking in a newly rebuilt motor?
Use the honda Relay box or the geo? or combination of both?
