I might have figured out why my temperature readings are about 20°F lower than they should. I was able test the resistance values of my sensor. Very close to in line with the what the manual says, obviously. I believe the values I gave easytherm were slightly off the scale. We'll see soon enough.
here's the difference between what I recorded today along with the factory values....against what I currently have plugged in:

so....putting the finishing touches on the engine, and of course something had to break...it was my oil feed fitting:
Luckily I was able to extract it...I'm pissed I barely tightened the booger.
Here is the completed longblock:
and the AT TB with TPS I was able to source:

you can see the fuel hose hanging there with the brass tee...I just had to unhook it from the back when i was pulling the connections in that area. I mean, I did do the writeup on it.
yeah i know it's aluminum and that's why, i was surprised because I barely cranked on it...I hand tightened it and went at it with a wrench and blamo! I was trying to be carfeul because I know how easy they are to snap....you think I haven't snapped any brass fittings before

It's back in. Just the turbo bits left and driveshaft:
A while back I was surfing through the new FM installation instructions and saw the low radiator hose they use. Well I liked it and got one...frees a lot of space just under the turbo (my drain fitting rubbed on it).
(2) zip-ties so far.
