I've already pulled the engine out of the donor car and switched all the F.I. from the '73 system to the '70 system to match the car that the engine is going into, including the '70 distributor. I know that the old engine in the '70 ran, so I'm not anticipating any problems getting it up and running. Thanks everyone for the good troubleshooting advice, hopefully my next post will be "It's running".
