I think that I have more than one issue. Could be the starter, but it still spins pretty good.

Yes I have T, but I'm going to watch them again and try my starter too.

So it's been about a month, but I finally got to finish my truck up. I'm REALLY embarrassed to tell you guys what the main problem was. When I installed my epump, I put the hot/switch wire on the cold advanced instead of the fuel shut off. It actually worked that way for a while too. Then one day I had problems getting fuel, DUH. Instead of realizing what I had actually done, I ran a new wire that powered with the key switch to the cold advance. So I fixed my STUPID mistake and timed it this evening.

Yeah, just one of those not paying attention moments! It's definitely much better but the ip still isn't just right. Going to drive it some and play with the timing. Also going to see how it starts now. It's 90-95 here now, so it's probably going to start better anyway!
