>So, what the heck, I took off the wires, rearranged them in 1-3-4-2 order
on
the cap, and gave it a shot. The engine started IMMEDIATELY.
I only ran the engine for about thirty seconds, then shut it down. My
handy
dandy $14 oil pressure gauge got up to 50 lbs. pressure. There is still
has
some air in line for the gauge, so maybe if I purge it the pressure will be
higher, but is that in the ball park for idling?

Congratulations! Sure gives you a good feeling when this happens, doesn't
it? A lot better than just writing a check to the garage.
Purging the air out of the gauge line will not give you a higher reading.
The pressure in the system is the same thruout. Purging the air may give
you a faster reading but not a higher reading. As for what it should be?
I don't know what a TR7 should read. When you do a V8 conversion ask
again.
