I'm back

After a short absence, I found another daily driver, this 1994 F150 XLT super cab long bed. 172k had new tires when I bought it a week ago. Just gotta get a miss at idle solved, and I can start driving it

Put on 2 new connectors and re wired them, and it now idles perfectly smooth and runs much better. Has a slight exhaust leak but I can live with that for now

Jeff, if you need some bigger and better rats to cross breed with those, I can send some from around where we live. They always seem to have a few nests in the rocks.
