For anyone who's read through this and said "This guy is chasing a misfire issue and hasn't said a word about plugs and wires? What an idiot" Yes, I did. Dad and I actually changed both before I had it towed to my house in some sad attempt in hoping it would fix the problem.

Since I was waiting on parts I pulled the wires off and pulled the plugs. Checked the gap and they were a hair tight so I opened them up, wiped them down and put them back in. I've had the passenger side buttoned up for almost a week now. That side fuel rail was good from my original ebay set so I set that in place and worked around it in wait of a properly working driver side rail.

First I ran my inlet #2 catch can line from the passenger side valve cover. This port originally fed into the throttle body right above it. When the coil bracket is mounted, access is limited so now was the time. I covered it in the same sheathing that I use for my ground wires for a cleaner look. This line has long run to make it to the catch can, I used some of the old throttle body coolant hose mounting tabs to secure it along the fan shroud. I'm not done but when the intake tube is on and I have this lined up the way I want it should look good.

The intake port on the throttle body from that valve cover will be capped off permanently and not used. I will be using the port on the top on the intake manifold as that seems like it would more properly disperse the outlet air from the catch can. In theory. So both valve covers will feed into the can, can feeds into the top of the intake manifold. Makes sense right? If I'm wrong someone please let me know.

Other than that I'm just kind of messing around with running inlet #1 catch can lines and ground wires for the most aesthetic look, wiping things down, making some adjustments. I'm still waiting on my actual catch can fittings (2 weeks now?) I did splurge and bought the Mechman 240A alternator I was eyeing up, which should be here next week. I just can't, after all this work, put that old tired grimy rusty ass pulley 90A Delphi back on there. I just can't. This should support my mild audio system and whatever accessories I tack on to this truck with ease.

I'm getting there. It's starting to look like a sea of plastic and wires again which is a good thing!
