Been gone a while, Just got my 13 year old an '86

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've been on. I pulled the motor out of my '94 Turbo and regasketed/sealed everything about two years ago and haven't put the motor back in yet so I've been otherwise distracted. My 13 year old son just bought an '86 F250 2WD C6 '86 with a goose neck and a Banks Turbo on it for $1000.
We've been fixing all of the previous owners twist together wiring, power steering leaks, built a front bumper and found a HD rear one at the wrecking yard.
Also found a Doug Nash 2 O.D. in the wrecking yard for $150 so we have to go pull that out. Hopefully it works well since parts are pretty much non-existent.
Today we're re-doing all of the "feed" side of the fuel system with a Holley Red pump (bypassing factory one) and extra filters since we're going to run WMO in it.
Next weekend hopefully I'm going to redo the return lines because guess what???? They are letting air into the system!

I'm not sure there is much I'm going to run into on his '86 that I haven't already on the '94 but if I do I know where to come to for answers.
