Thanks guys 
The griffin radiator I have had damage on the filler neck when I bought it. I had it repaired, but now its leaking again. I have a new filler neck on order now, and I'll get it welded on then all should be good to schedule the dyno tune.

Welp, she's alive! Got the computer back today, and she fired right up after priming. Well, not exactly right up.. It needed a little assistance from me holding the throttle slightly down. I temporarily adjusted the screw for now, but I'm gonna have to drill the hole out in the new TB to probably something close to the size of the hole in my old TB blade. I took some vids with my camera, but the microphone is absolutely horrible with it. I then tried to take some vids with my cell phone, but the mic on it doesnt register too well either 
I'll have to borrow a camcorder and get back with yall, so stay tuned 
I'm suprised at how well it idles with those 80# injectors. Glen did an awesome job on setting them up with the very limited information he had. Next step is dyno tuning

Wow, Chad! It's been a loooong time since I've been on but I'm definitely glad to see you're still hammering away at the TA! I would love to check that out sometime once it's up and running.. (is Glen doing the Dyno tune?) Awesome work and congrats with the 4th(or is it 5th) engine combo startup! It always seems to look like the current combo is the best and then ya go and start a new, better, one!!

Thanks man. I wish I had progress to post, but not much right now. I've just done some small things. Took the radiator out and cut the filler neck off, but still need to get the new one welded on. Hopefully that'll happen this week. I also installed a 12" pusher fan infront of the condenser while it was easily accessible with the radiator out. Installed a prime button so I wouldnt have to cycle the key 4+ times to build up fuel pressure, and got a new front license plate cover since the old one had a little dent in it. Oh, also painted and installed the fender vents I recently bought (car never had them since I've owned it).
Anyway, the dyno tune may be a while out. Unfortunately, they have had some major cutbacks at my work, and I've been hit with a pretty harsh decrease in hours. I'm doin good right now just to pay the bills, so unfortunately, as close as I am to being finalized with this build, the TA will probably be on the backburner until I can save up for the tune.
