Thanks Tman, I just wanted to see if I could make it work. Naturally after the first try I would do a couple things in a different order.

Things like this wouldn't be as much fun if they were too easy

there are a couple little things to get but the parts spree is pretty much over I assembled the turbo aside from the turbine housing because I have to do some work on the down pipe to make it fit right. And every time i make a trial fit the I can just mount the housing instead of wrestling the whole turbo.
But I haven't got there yet.

today I adjusted the valves and got the top off the injection pump to install the 366 spring and the top hat spring flew away. At least i found the other two parts. Oh well. tomorrow is another day.

I also ordered the spring for my lift pump from Fastenel. It should be here Monday.

I ended up painting the valve covers I was going to polish because the ones on the truck were way better so those will get polished. I don't even know why I am doing that

While I have the plate that the throttle cable mounts to off I will replace the fuel heater O-ring.
