Found that pesky fuel gremlin!!!

My buddy 1) pinched the power wire from the tophat connector to the fuel pump connector and 2) didn't push in the blue pin locking device for the in-tank connector to the tophat. A simple cut, strip and re-pin of the power and ground leads for the pump and the pump primes just fine now. I sealed the leak at the external filter (wasn't tight enough) and the fuel system is 100% ready to go. 20 lbs on the pressure gauge at the regulator fully backed out.

For the fuel pump assembly work, I moved the passenger seat all the way forward as well as leaning it all the way forward and it allows plenty of room to get in there. All you really need to do for the CJM stuff is get the assembly out of the tank. Most of the rest is done outside the car.

Should get the remainder of the conversion parts today, so my goal is to turn the engine over tomorrow or Thursday at the latest!
