OK, that worked, I'm going to delete the original post that's all messed up.

We changed quite a bit while we had the transmission out. I had been having an issue where the drivers bank was always running about 1 number leaner than the passenger side, along with #6 going cold at WOT. We took our injectors and got them cleaned and tested, then I remade the supply lines for the fuel rails. Previously they came in from the passenger side and the drivers side rail had a longer line as well as an extra bend. We made a new line that goes to the middle of the truck and splits off to both rails with identical lines, unfortunately it was in the way of the transmission
.
We redid the lines today, but I was short one olive ferrule for one fitting, so no starting it today. We also still need to get the sensor block mounted and run the line from the transmission to it so we don't blow fluid everywhere. The new fittings should be here before we get up tomorrow, so we're hoping to have it running tomorrow morning at some point.

I forgot to mention that we were actually registered for the Kingman Route 66 drags Friday and Saturday. It turns out it doesn't matter that we couldn't go, it got rained out anyways.
sooo can I have you build me a 4l80? 
LOL, we can talk about it. You probably want to wait to see if mine actually works though.sooo can I have you build me a 4l80?
I’m sure it will
It moves in forward and reverse! I need to do some wiring still, but it moves!
We mounted the Rife sensor block on the firewall behind the blower, it seemed like the best place for it. I've only got the trans line pressure hooked up so far, but eventually it will take over MAP, oil pressure and fuel pressure duties as well.
We wired up the sensor block other than the MAP wire since that is a dedicated circuit on the Dominator. We also wired the trans brake up to our relay box in the cab of the truck.
It's been rainy all day, but cleared up for a few so we decided to take the truck for a quick drive see if it shifted through all the gears. I backed out my back driveway into the alley and the truck wouldn't go forward
. I shifted back to park, reverse and drive again and this time I felt it start to move then stop, then I started laughing as the rain started.
Amber ran and grabbed my laptop so I could reprogram the output for the relay we hooked up to, it had previously been used for something that got activated any time the engine was running, so the trans brake was activated. I disabled the output and pulled the truck back into the garage with no further issues and then we had a good laugh.
On the bright side, now I know the trans brake works!

They got a lot of racing in, and had even gotten a few finials before the sky let lose @7pm on Saturday. Wife and I where there for the weekend.
The rain finally stopped and I took it for it's first test drive through the gears, everything feels good so far, but I'm driving it gingerly for the break in.
