I probably need to pick up a pack of jets, and maybe the pump kit for my carb.

i just had a pizza GTG with justin, josiah and NOT brendon.

as for the smoke, it doesnt smell like oil, and it doesnt smoke if its running off of ether. the compression test showed all cylinders to be within 5psi. there isnt any excessive blowby. and i wasted most of the day drilling the pilot jet bigger and bigger trying to get it to run. if i cannot get it right or even close by next weekend i think i will look at the original carbs and put this single carb manifold setup on the back burner until the winter.

It might really be the easiest way, let's get it over to Ray's and pull the bed. We'll get a good look at both trucks, especially with the sheet metal out of the way, and then go from there. If you decide that you want my cab we'll have to fix a cab corner anyway so the bed would have to come off so we'd be ahead a step.

I should definitely be looking for some poly body mounts.

That would mean we wouldn't have to worry so much about the blasting and all that stuff, and could get right to the go-fast parts! after the wire wheel GTG, lol.

That'll be wicked easy: pick it straight up then drive the truck away.
