Crossing my fingers, but it starts and runs again. Maybe the nightmare is over! I patched up the tank pump wire and put in the new pump. Turned the key on and some fuel came out the open hose. So re- attached and re-mounted the main pump and got fuel out the disconnected fuel rail fitting. Put that back together and after some faltering she took off much to my surprise. With an almost full tank this new tank pump shouldn't have made much difference, but it seems to have. We'll see if all is still good tomorrow morning. Thanks to you all for sticking with me and keeping me on task with logical troubleshooting progression. The only parts I bought were a new fuel filter, coolant temp sensor, spark plugs, and tank pump. The only thing that probably wasn't necessary was the temp sensor.
