Don't take this the wrong way, but YOU'RE KILLING ME.
I think there are more than a few people on this board who are like me, in that we've taken on your car as our own project by proxy. The first thing I do every day is log in to see if there's any updates to your posts so I can see what progress has been made. And then I see a post about "first time starting" and got all excited. I fully intend to drink several beers the day you post that you finally drove it around the block. I should note, I fully intend to drink several beers every day anyway. But I'll be happy for you nonetheless.
Do you know how excited I was when I read about your fuel temp sensor?
And then you left the hood up in the rain.

well, what happened was that i left the bonnet up, and it rained, and i guess i didnt realize that rain could hit a 5/16" hole. so then they sat for a day before i got them back out and drained all the water out of them. im certain theyre all rusted stuck.
i gave each one a couple of good whacks and managed to get about 9 injectors working, but theyre intermittent, like a bad drum beat. im gonna get the battery charged up and try and get it fired up on 7 or so cylinders, and then wind it up and see if a fast enough pulse will bring them back to life.
if you think that sucks, you should try my shoes. its been 2 months today since i bought it, and ive been working on it at least a few hours a day since.

Jaguar Fuel Injector Service.
Good guy from what I hear. I personally have not used his services. Was going to but then found an NOS fuel rail with injectors. Still have it sitting in the garage as I have not had time to install it yet.
Why not just clean the plugs?

What did you end up doing with the fuel temp switch anyway? Replace or bypass?
Why the new plugs? Shouldn't be fouled, right?

Do NOT use starting fluid. It can cause more grief than good. You car is flooding. Are you sure your coolant temp sensor is reading correctly? That is most obvious cause of flooding cold. Was your distributor out for repairs? If so do you have it installed correctly?
Have you done a compression test?
