Make sure to clean the fuel injectors while you have the engine out. Everything I study say they are all probably clogged.
I have never heard of or seen reference to a directional timing belt.
View attachment 2248 Engine and transmission in. I had to install the transmission twice because I'm an idiot and forgot to do the shield first. I also found out it has to go on before the pressure plate so I had to do that twice as well. But it's done now. Time to start hooking everything up.
I don't recall seeing a timing belt without directional arrows. Not very important, if this document from Gates Australia is to be believed (page 17): "Nor have I. I don't see why direction would matter.

in the proper direction of rotation for the belt timing marks to line up
with the engine marks)."
Awesome!! Great to see all your nice work and at quite the pace.It runs!!
Thanks. Couple of immediate issues:
- Temp gauge immediately goes all the way up as soon as the key is turned on.
- Fuel gauge reads full even though I only put a couple of gallons in the tank. It is a new tank and new sender so either I have something wired wrong or it is something with the gauge.
- I don't think the oil pressure light is working so I only made sure it would start and then immediately shut it down. I may temporarily hook up a fuel pressure gauge just for peace of mind.
