Have you gotten brave and driven the P/U away from home yet?

I hope its running better the more you run it?

Waiting for the power window kits I ordered to arrive, right now it's still smoking quite a bit when I start it but think I still need to play with the carb..

We have had those here every so often. Like 4" in 20 minutes. No place for the water to go.

I was figuring the seafoam was doing it but thinking maybe the valve seals are toast too..going to wait to see how it runs and do another compression test done the road to see if there is any improvement, if there is I'll change out the seals.

I don't know if they had valve seals from the factory but if they did I'm sure they are hard from being dry and not run.
