" an the temp  sensor on the top of the intake it   broke off  so   not wired up.."
That sensor is the overtemp to turn on the fan, if the temp goes over about 225*.
The canister.. Did you plug the hose off? If so, that's the tank vent. Pull the cap, it starts and stays running?

If it's for sure a lifter noise, and the cam is going flat, I'd not continue to drive it.
The trash that's created will find a home in the brgs....Then, you will be spending that money.......an d some.
Cut the oil filter open, and see if the cam lobe is in there.

Had "issues" with the Autometer gauges in the 55. Called them, was told 2ohms or less on the connections to ground.
The 55 install is new, I'm anal about this stuff, still ended up with 20+ ohms on the ground side at the tank. [Grounded to the welded in studs on the body.] Ran a dedicated ground from the tank hanger, directly to the batt.Now reads <.2ohm.
Same with the volt meter in the dash. Batt neg is cabled directly from the batt to the ft of the car, to the frame, engine and body. All with 3/8 bolts, star washers, yadda, yadda. Gauges were grounded the same way> welded 1/4" studs. 25ohms at the stud to batt neg cable. Cleaned, added No NOX grease,...WALA <.2ohms.
 
These same issues have arisen on the GN..Added grounds, checked and rechecked, cleaned. Gauges are much more accurate....
The Autometer tech made a comment I'd not thot of: The gauges are actually just volt meters, with different faces on them...
 
Back under my rock...

Update... "chop it apart, and start over" scenario
I finished the mockup, fitted it into the engine bay, [85 El Camino/LS2], and found I need more room, and a different angle on the turbo.
I also added a flex joint.
Here's the latest. Am going to do 1 more test fit, then set the w/g piping, and finish weld the tacked joints.
Once done, the manifolds will be ceramic coated, and the pipes will have a bit of polishing done. [304 polishes really nice. Just doesn't stay that way!]
I hope to have it at Reynolds for critique, in Nov.
I may even get someone to try it out!
