SO here is the update:

I pulled the upper intake and valve covers off, re-did all of the vacuum connections under the intake, put brand new o-rings on all of the injectors, installed an adjustable FPR, new PCV valve and re-timed it. I also did the redneck TDC check with a "probe" in the #1 spark plug hole as I turned the motor over by hand while watching the pointer on the balancer. I have a feeling that the balancer may be off a little though in terms of being aligned correctly with the crankshaft. Is it possible to install the balancer misaligned or would it just bind at the keyway? I was able to start the car and it seemed to be pulling more vacuum and seemed to rev better (gentle revs). My fuel pressure is lower due to the FPR. What should my fuel pressure be set at?

I'll update after driving in the morning.
