Just a thought, I don't know if anyone mentioned this.... The way you describe your cranking almost seems like there might be a great deal of fuel in some of the cylinders causing a partial hydraulic. It might be worth your time to pull the plugs and spin it over, and perhaps drop the oil out of it. After pushing all that fuel through the carb vents this is a possibility.

Yes, I thought it was somehow locked due to liquid. I'll have to pull the plugs. I think a majority of the fuel made it down the intake pipe towards the intercooler though due to the vent tube. It also started cranking hard BEFORE I let remotely enough fuel into the bowl to start shooting gas.

Also Bill, I would have to climb under the car to remove the electric one, and drop it out of the way, and bridge the line with some soft fuel hose. While it seems not so bad, I only have a driveway and it was very difficult to get under there the last time with minimal jack height that I have. I'd rather maybe be patient about it. Likely what I'll do is pop the plugs out, unhook the fuel pump wire, and just try and start the car with no gas. If anything the motor should at least spin.
