Tips for starting rebuilt NA

Just want to hear any tips you guys might have about starting a freshly built NA. I will prime the fuel with the test connector, use fully charged battery and have a jumper battery hooked up for more cranking power/speed. I have a 91 streetported NA. Any thing you got would be much appreciated.

Make sure EVERY SINGLE THING IS ^SECURELY^ CONNECTED! Except spark plug wires and fuel pump to prime coolant and oil.
Go here to know how:

Just wanted to say to anybody trying to start there fresh rebuild. Follow directions above. Also I squirted quite a bit of oil in each rotor housing. Use a second battery for cranking power, and read the fsm. It really isn't as tough as I was anticipating. Mine fired up with in 5-10 seconds of cranking. If it won't restart later deflood with EFI fuse and squirt more oil in the rotor housings. No problems. Thanks for the help.

Crank with the egi fuse pulled until you see oil pressure then fire her up. If it's built well and the car was in running order prior to having the engine pulled you shouldn't have a problem.

Stab the CAS correctly, take its cover off, and rotate it until it looks like the picture here: https://www.rx7club.com/showpost.php...4&postcount=10
