Ok, gents, IT RUNS!!!!!!!!

So, here's some of the day's drama.....spoke with Justin at Tanks, Inc again because I couldn't get a consistent fuel pressure reading. He thought it could be a bad fuel pressure regulator or maybe I didn't get the clamps tight enough on the fuel pump install. Argh! I dropped the tank again and checked the clamps just to be sure. They're tight for sure now!

Then I talked to the tech guy at Ford Racing....extremely helpful guy! He said if you have power, fuel & air, it will start!!! He encouraged me to check the timing again. I decided to put my compression gauge in the #1 plug hole just to make sure I had TDC on the compression stroke. Of course, you know where I'm going with this.... I was 180 degrees off. After I restabbed the distributor I got my neighbor out there to crank the key while I played with the timing light & distributor. While twisting on the dizzy, it fired up!!! and continued to run!!!! After some more tweaking, adding more trans fluid and cleaning up some mess, I took it for a spin!!!! It sounds healthy. I'm soooo stoked!!

Will snap some more pics tomorrow! Thanks for all your help!!!!!
