So I got the car back together last night - and attempted to go for a test drive - but the car wouldn't go into reverse.

I took the interior apart and tried to adjust the trans linkage - but it still wouldn't go in. Then I thought about the reverse lockout solenoid - and I didn't remember plugging it back in.

I ended up putting the car back in the air - reached above the trans and felt the plug. I plugged it in - dropped the car back down and reverse worked!

So I went for a test drive and went and got gas. The fuel pump works - and so does both fuel level sensors that I replaced. I got about a half mile from home - and the transmission cooler line popped off and threw ATF all over my long tubes. I got the car pulled over and the smoke cleared out. I didn't have the interior back together and it looked like the scene from Up in Smoke. I was flailing around looking for the block off plate to put back on the trans tunnel.

I got the car home - and the put it back on the lift. I cleaned up the under side and popped the trans cooler line back on.

I went for another test drive - this time with no issues, then I put the interior back together. I still need to wash the car down - and put the rear splash shield in - and go buy more ATF.

No pics of the smoke show - but here is the interior stripped at the gas station:
