The 1980 frankin monster is alive !!!!!!

Well my fears were answered thursday night!!! Primed the fuel lines hit the key cranked and caught like I just turned it off!!!! My first swap and engine build so im a lil over excited. Heres a few wtf's for everyone

#1 Engine I Think is an 81....The exaust manifold Has an o2 sensor that was connected to my 81 body. Now the 80 does not and the manifold is twice the girth. Ordered my collector gasket from nissan. Asked them about it. The parts guy couldnt find an o2 sensor for a 81 on his diagram??? If its fuel injected always thought it needed an o2???

#2 The fuel pump will not shut off in the on position. Sounds like the cold start injector the 81 you had to hold the key half way to start position for it to work. this one just wount shut off. Engine is not flooding and clear no smoke exaust.?
