Funny/ironic that this car started in Pottstown, PA, sent over to Oxford, MI, back east to Vestal, NY, then down to Euless, TX.

Would be quite the journey to end up back in PA!

Fuel pumps

Why are you guys running electric pumps? My car with only the mechanical pump takes a bunch of cranking before it fires up after a day of sitting. Perhaps you've experienced the same symptoms?

Interesting that the OEM tach for the 4-4-4 didn't have a redline. Could these engines regularly and reliably rev to 7000 RPM?
