For anybody that finds this thread and has the same issues:

I fixed the oil consumption by replacing the oil rings, although I could have reused them by seating them correctly.

I fixed the injectors not pulsing (well, everyone else told me what to do and I turned the wrench) in this thread: 

 

The oil rings are tricky to align and space the gaps.  Thank goodness I bought the Tom Monroe book, How to Rebuild the L motor.

Glad you got everything,  it's a Christmas Miracle!   Gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling...no wait that's the eggnog. LOL

Finally got the car passed smog today! After a whole lot of trouble including the cam sprocket coming off and bending my valves, the car is finally legal!

I'm gonna start a "build" (if you can call it that) thread sometime soon.

Thanks again for everyone's help.
