Its runs

Well after 5 years.1000's of dollars,moving to a new house and building a new shop my truck finaly cranked tonight and fired.After cutting and trimming the donor harness from the 5.0L 90 Crown vic and plumbing up a fuel pump I must of got everything right.I had fuel pressure,spark and injector pulse. It cranked a little while then came to live then purred away with no proplems.Now I just need to get the column hooked up and I can go for a drive.

Congratulations! I'd have been surprised had mine started right up the first time I cranked it.
