I just swapped TPI back onto my 1985 Camaro and have everything hooked up and I think ready to go. Before I try cranking it over does anyone have a checklist of things to go over in case I forgot something?

The engine in the car isn't new so I don't have to worry about priming the oil, it last ran 2 weeks ago.

Thanks

 

Temporaily hot wire the pump to run full time on it's own (jumper the pump relay connector ) and key OFF
check for fuel leaks on the fuel lines to / from the engine and the injectors / fuel rails before you crank it over.

 

I cycled the key on and off for the fuel pump prime 4-5x and checked for leaks but I will energize the pump and let it run while looking for leaks.

I was a bit nervous about the FMS 24lb injectors I installed. I put them in the fuel rail first all the way seated, but when I put the electrical connectors on them my SLP runners got in the way. I had to float a couple of injectors to make them work. I think it was the #7 and #2 I had to do that for.

Also the steel feed and return fuel lines are about 1/2" from the driver's header. Will that be too much heat? The lines are secured to the body so it will be difficult to move them away anymore.

I was planning on just running straight water for the initial start up and test in case of leaks. Any problem with that?
