Finally got this to run properly tonight with some help from Troy (of Automotive Wiring Solutions fame), and it starts and idles perfectly now. Will be running it in tomorrow night then it's off to get club rego organised, then finally back on the road.

So excited to finally drive it again, it's been way too long. Did a dry comp test and came up with 225 psi across all four (which shows me roughly 11 to 11.5:1 comp going from previous experience), which will suit the cams I'm running much better than the 9.4:1 standard bigport bottom end this had before.
