You almost had me on that one, ha ha I think the 20 amp fuse next to it exposed your trickery. I was just thinking about you today. I hope you and you're family are doing well.
I'm thinking it slammed into the guard rail, but you said that the guy said the wheel went flying off before he hit the guard rail? Maybe check the torque on the rest of the wheels. I noticed that the van in the picture has similar damage. Did that vehicle hit the guard rail too, or do you know?
Not if your going to start it without the aid of the glow plugs. I believe you said you are going to use starting fluid. I would use the glow plugs to start it instead of starting fluid. Crack each line one at a time until the system is primed and start cranking.

Those speeds would be to high for me. Mine shift at 15 to second and 25 to 35 to third depending on how I drive. If you like the other shift points thats good for you.
I think over time based on the condition of the motor your timing might need adjusting to compensate. I may be wrong on that I am not sure. I think every vehicle is different and the sweet spot and the timing position can vary. Just my opinion.
