    i decided to loop my heater core to get heat faster so it doesnt have to run through the engine first.

                I never asked, but was switching those fuel lines around what fixed the problem?

                  Yes sir, I switched them and she fired right up. I'm now trying to find space to his the wiring so it's not laying on top of the motor. After that I need a radiator and new slave cylinder.
