Progress- Got the glow plugs wired, firing a 60 amp solenoid off the rear window heater switch. Got the fuel pump wired to key switched power that doesn't disappear in start position. Got rid of the catalytic converter and installed the exhaust front to back. I am getting some leakage around the manifold to flange connection, will need to revisit once a couple other things are done.

To do- Still need to realign the crank pulley and fix the fuel leak around #1 injector.

Road test tomorrow.

The rest will be tweaking and "hardening" as aerohead said.
