Yes, I thought I posted what ended up happening, but for some reason it didn't go through.
When I was initially remounting the fuel rail after finishing the work I had done in there, I lost one of the mounting bolts into the abyss of vacuum tubes and whatever else down below.. and somehow whilst trying to fish it out, I unplugged the connector for the crank sensor/pulse generator. When I finally figured that out, I found that that connector was fairly loose and easy to disconnect, so I put some electrical tape around it and called it good. She fired right up no problem after I plugged it back in. Thanks for all the help, 74Demon, and good luck to you, Pal Rune Lien.
