I also had Steve restore my wiper/washer. Mine works as it should. Not sure about washer. I never checked it, because I'll never use it. I left my fluid bottle dry. My car stays clean.

My 400 I rebuilt a few years ago with a 400 auto needed no shims. I used the paperclip method prying the starter gear into the flex plate. Starts quiet without issue.

I was under the understanding that all plugs should be in, since you are also plugging the one cylinder you are testing. That way all cylinders are plugged. This is what I was told from a co-worker...

I believe the turbo 350 has a cable to the carb and a 400 turbo has the electrical switch at the accelerator pedal. There are instructions in the manual explaining how to adjust the 400.

Many cars at that area develop problems. And it's not from too much torque. Over time, just the lead itself can develop issues with bonding to the original metal under it. I bought a 72 vert Lemans...
