What's the p/n? Can't really make out what the bag says & what I entered on their site came up empty.

UA-6-6 I think it was $14. Same style as Swagelok which are rated for 5,000 psi.
Yes, factory line goes thru the frame and that's where I ran the stainless factory replacements.
Well I got it turning over. But the wires are stretched thru the headers to the starter LOL I've cranked it for nearly 5 minutes, not all at once of course, with the plugs out. Radiator I ordered came in broken 😥 Hooked the fuel pump up to the battery and checked for leaks. Had two leaks from the d/s fuel rail where the injectors seat into it. Pulled everything apart, looked good, reassembled, tested again, no leaks and holding pressure. Not sure what that was all about. Think I'm done for today, tomorrow I need to run the wiring for the Terminator to the battery, fuel pump relay wire, fuel pump relay, and see if I can sort out the engine bay wiring. Wiring and exhaust are my last two major hurdles I think.

Did you get any oil pressure?
I have the same stuff happen with injector o-rings - more than once. Plenty of grease or vaseline on both o-rings seems beneficial. Well, I've been told vaseline works, but I only have access to grease in the garage 😉

I used Vaseline the first time. Well no mechanical gauge hooked up, and didn't have the Holley up and running yet. Hopefully tomorrow.
That vacuum line from the valve cover to the TB is going to be a bad deal. I did the same thing with that TB. It never really acted up when I had the 4.8 because the cam was pretty large which created little to no vacuum at idle. But once I put the 5.3 in with the same cam my idle vacuum came up and it developed this god awful squealing sound at idle. I dealt with it for a bit because of the zero fooks given with the motor. I ran it for a month or so making this squealing sounds at low idle.
It bothered some else enough for them to look at it. It was the oil fill cap. That hose was creating enough vacuum that I almost couldn't remove the oil fill cap with the engine running. Amazingly it never sucked a crap load of oil in nor caused a seal/gasket to get sucked in.
In a nutshell, don't start it up like that. Unhook the hose and let it dangle and plug the port on the TB. You should put that hose to either a catch can or pre throttle plate source. I say **** emissions and don't suck oil back into your motor. I made my hose longer and stuck behind the water pump. My motor is tight enough that it doesn't blow anything out at 20+lbs of boost, but I should have it hooked to a catch can.
Also, what is your throttle cable and let me know how it works - I probably need to address cable at some point as well.

I've got the squeal. I have a catch can routed properly. I have to read up on fixes for this
Throttle cable is an Ebay special. 36" seems to work ok. Scott is using the same one.
