Ok guys I'm going to try something. I have no idea if it will work. I've uploaded some videos to YouTube from this thing running. Let me know if this works for you.
First Run of the EngineDump Bed TestFirst drive with both my helpersI also wanted to update the issue on the timing light. Believe it or not finding a timing light to borrow these days is much harder than finding a code reader for a modern car. After checking with everyone I know I did find a guy that had an old school one that was non inductive and slipped between the cap and plug. After hooking that up it blinked twice and no more. I decided to hook it up to my daily driver and it worked perfectly as does my timing light I thought was broken. I think the issue is with voltage. Because I don't have the alternator hooked up I think weak battery voltage is to blame. Next step will be to run that new wire to the battery from the alternator and try again. So in case anyone runs into the same issue I've noted it here.
