This is how she sat, waiting for an engine re-seal...
 Finally on her own feet!  Took a lot of cranking to get it started. I didn't think that I was getting fuel pressure, so I pulled out the pump to check the wires. They looked fine, so I left it out to see if I could hear it when I turned the key, and then it started firing. I think that one of the hoses may have been kinked, and probably got freed when I pulled the pump out. Curiously, I never heard the pump at all, even though I have heard to listen for it. After it actually started, it ran horribly for a while and then started to smooth out. I took it for a short spin, and was loving life, even though it is still running like crap.
