I'm thinking that's the least of your worries now.

Get it started and running. Did anyone forget to hook up the little ground wires at the dipstick tube stud?

What about the fuel pump ballast resistor located on the driver's side inner fender? Connections tight? Try jumping across both terminals and bypassing it as a test.
