Well arrived home to find the old girl had been crying... she turn 49 tomorrow maybe she is sensitive to her age...
Closer inspection I realized I used the larger Italian hose clamp on the lower hose and I could not get it tight enough. Installed the smaller hose clamp and dug out an old, old friend....
Incredibly it still works (barely) but I could get 13lbs. Found the bypass hose leaked a bit so I snugged that one down. Went around and checked them all and give them a twist. I left the pressure on for an hour and it did not move. I think things are good.
I got out my spark tester and convinced myself that I had spark. Gas, spark, coolant, oil, trans fluid, PS fluid... what else does one need?

What the hay lets give it a whirl! The NOS starter drive has a bit of a slip to it in the beginning. It does not slip now.
Failure.....
Lets try again....
Not much better.... WTF......
Like on SpongeBob [One Hour Later....]
IT LIVES.....
Now guess what. It was dark and I melted the damn cable to the FiTech handheld on the manifold.... I quit for the night....

Try forgetting to put the plug wires back on the plugs on the right bank.......
Okay. Not really stupid, just forgetful. On the first video I said to myself wires were not in correct order, or at least that was my first intuition.
Must feel pretty good to hear that rumble.

Everything is working except he PS pump. I have no pressure. I may have installed the impeller backwards.

Fixed my cable, the Plastidip is drying. Those are some FINE wires..... PS pump bums me out but I had this bad feeling about it from the moment I put it back together.... I knew I was forgetting some of the details on how it came apart.
Oh and it does go into drive and reverse as well so to first order the transmission is working.

Congrats!!!!!!!!
Now it is just a matter of shaking down random issues that pop up between drives.......and maybe get that glass in
On my first motor rebuild start up on my 62 it wouldn't fire worth a ****. After looking at everything 10 times, realized I had a Pertronix ignition for a 6 cylinder!!!!! Swapped in a set of points and it fired with a flip of the key.

Yup once I plugged in the other 4 wires it fired right up!

Moron day #2. When you disassemble something put it back together correctly... All together now...
SPRING FIRST...
VALVE SECOND
NUT LAST....
Power steering is working. I can tell I have a stage III Firm Feel. It is not the way I remember my Satellite! Take a bit of effort to turn, more like the rack and pinion Hondas we have....
The AC box control valves seem to be doing their job too!
I pumped up the coolant system to 7 lbs (all I could get with my old pump this morning). It was still 7 lbs when I got home this morning. I would say it is leak free!
Time to button up the AC system!
