Default Its alive!

I got to start my car today
It started right up even after getting in a hurry and forgeting to hook up the left bank of injectors. I still have to do alot of finish wiring and wait for my gauge cluster, but now that I know that it will run I am more at ease. Its great to finally hear my baby scream to life, without the mil light coming on. Sorry that I dont have a video to show you, I was going to get a camera but I put all my money in my car
I would like to thank every one one this site that gave me the info needed to get this done.

Congrats!! I felt the same way when I turned the key on mine, still only roughed-in and open exhaust...it was GREEEAAATT!!

If yours goes like mine, the 20/80 rule will now kick in. The last 20% of the project will take 80% of the time.
