After an hour of steady state running, I think I've finished burping the radiator successfully .No leaks that I can see under the car, but I'd like this forums collective feedback on these photos/videos to make sure everything is tip-top. I have a new TFI module on order, but the car hasn't stalled once, and I'm getting the nerve up for an inaugural run (just finished a H/C/I swap).
Temperature at Idle
Oil Pressure at Idle:
Vacuum at Idle:
Vacuum is interesting. It's steady at 13 Hg. It seems lower than the target 17-20 Hg.

Here I rev it a few times, and it pops up to 0, then back to 20Hg. That looks normal to me. Thoughts?
Water in Tailpipes?
I haven't done my compression test, it's on my to-do list. I thought for sure I had blown a head-gasket through my misadventures installing the distributor properly, coupled with the loud "bang" and burning smell. There wasn't much white smoke from the tail-pipe, but a little bit at the beginning.

I'm concerned by the amount of water vapor coming out of the left tailpipe compared to the right. A compression test is still scheduled, but I *really* want to drive the car to experience it.
Rev Test
I've tested revving it to 1500,2000,3000, 4000, and 5000 RPM. Each time it did great, no stutter or mis-fire.
Fuel Pressure
No pic, but it's set to 43 Psi. Never fluctuated more than 1PSI when I did the 1 hour idle test.
Timing:
Timing is currently set to 14 BDTC. I run premium fuel.
