So yesterday while my LEBC Bronco Brethren were having fun in San Antonio, I was epoxy priming the body.

We were thinking about you. But you did miss some good BBQ! ;D

Is that red oxide epoxy primer? Looking good!

I'm going to try to fire the engine today in the bare chassis before the tub goes on. I've rebooked up the harness, grounded everything, stood the explorer radiator on the front of the frame, and put fluids in everything. The transmission only has 7 qts, plan to add more after running it briefly and purging each gear. Going to see how "plug and play" EFI guy's harness is
Any final advice for me?
heck yeah, I know you already know this but prime the oilVideo it, so we can join in from afar!

Yep, oil is primedIt fired up instantly. We ran it a couple times, cycled each gear and added transmission fluid. Ran it a couple times and warmed it up good.
It idled fast for awhile, then warmed up and slowed down. I don't have a tach, so can't tell you what the idle RPM was. It was not idling perfectly, doing some rpm chasing.
I cleaned the IAC and installed a new gasket. Now the fuel pump circuit kicks on but it won't trigger the starter. Zero, zilch, nada. No noise, no relays, nothing.
I've unhooked the battery for awhile, going to try it again.
Taking suggestions...
