Default First startup (finally) in '68 Chevy C10

I posted in my thread, but not everyone checks buildup threads, so I figured I'd post here:

Amazingly, I only bumped it over for half a second and the damned thing fired off without a question. Very nice, very happy with it.

Looking forward to completing wiring and the other stuff so I can drive it!

I actually need to go downstairs and check my oil pressure and temp gauges, so I'll be firing it up again

Anyone know what the oil pressure should be at at idle? I'm reading about 45psi. Looks like the S&P tree kit is working great with the SunPro 3-way gauge cluster I got from the LAPS, at least ... I think

Cool, as long as it's not too high.

I need to wire up the fans and let it idle to temp once, just to get fluid kicking through the system and make sure everything is dumping through properly.

Looks like I have one fuel line leak, but it's so small it evaporates before it can form a drop to hit the ground. It's on the supply fitting coming out of the Vette FPR/Filter. Still amazed it fired, and I don't know why.
