I hear the fuel pump relay under the dash click and the fuel pump runs
briefly and then stops. I also hear a relay click under the rear seat.

Doing this, the injectors aren't making any sounds that I can hear. How loud
would the clicking be?

The engine is coming out of the '73 to go in the '70. My main goal is to get
the engine running to try to detect any mechanical problems it might have so
I can fix it before I install it in the other car, but it would also be nice
to be able to say that the '73 F.I. is functional if I wanted to try to sell
it later on down the road, as the '73 system is coming off of the engine and
being replaced by the '70 system to match the car.

Thanks for the help so far, I'm going outside to get dirty again : )
