It certainly looks that way RC. I've also noticed that it's running much better than before. One of the issues I've been having since the swapping over to the 302 was that it wanted to stall when backing up. I figured that is was due to the engine torque being higher up than the 300, reverse was not as low in the 5 speed as it was in the 4, or flat out user error. Since getting it back on the road, it has yet to stall when backing up and backing uphill into my parking spot here at the house is effortless.

I've got no idea how any of what I've did to it relates to that, but I'll take it.

I want to stop by the radiator place today. They were not there yesterday??

I got everything on the list besides the reverse light sockets. So the fuel tank could be buttoned up today along with the gauges...

Got called into work. So fuel system won't be done on Bullet today.

I did find the radiator guy at work finally in Ozark...so it is delivered. Odd feller...
So hopefully I have that back soon. Then we can leave Bullet running for awhile. Got to burn the cobwebs out...

Work the rest of the week. So no truck time down South
