You are in the wrong forum. Asking a bunch of fuel injected guys to tell you how to tune a carb is like asking a 17 year old to buy an 8-track for his car.
Try the pre 79 mustang forum.

The manuals say to start with 100 in-lbs, then 12 ft-lbs, then 25 final and go around in the order specified until all 10 bolts will not turn any more. It can take up to 10 times for all to finally seat.
Assuming this is your first lower intake install, do a search for tips and info. You will...
IDK what that ring is for. Throw it away.
The holes are for the factory bracket that holds the MAF solid from underneath. Maybe yours is missing or laying under your old MAF.
I didn't use the bracket once I removed it. Just annoying.

I put bearing grease on the oil pimp shaft to keep it in place when I am installing the dizzy. It really helps to stop it from moving around, plus it doesn't hurt the motor.
Any experienced tech should have had that dizzy installed in 5 minutes. They definitely overcharged you IMO. For them to...

The bearing has 2 depressions on the inside rim, so that when you attach a puller to bearing, the puller will grap the depressions. The depressions need to be on the inside.

Yeah I disagree with that assessment. The reason 3.73's are so good for a stock NA car is because the powerband is so short. On a boosted car, the powerband is much wider, and you need to take advantage of that, spending more time in each gear, using every ounce of powerband you have. The 2.73's...
You can live without the heat lamps. And the DA sander if you don't have any dents over the size of a quarter. A block sander will suffice.
As for advice, practice and a good teacher is all you need. If you need help just PM me. I am no means an expert but I spent many month at my body shop...
Yeah I do see your point. But in all seriousness, if you wanted to find it, and knew where it was, it would take you a while. It took me a very long time to get used to it.
That is a really good idea!!!!!
