I wish my wife would let me build engines in her kitchen, it makes the beer and sandwiches much closer at hand!

Fuel Pressure Regulator and swapped in spare instrument cluster. Tomorrow, High Pressure Fuel Pump. Apparently my truck can't survive under 1K RPMS. I'll still be looking into that. Thought it was the cluster but both show the same on the tach. Either wiring or coil.

Day after tomorrow, HOPEFULLY 5 hour drive to NC for the week. First time I will have filled the dual tanks up.

The kitchen sink makes a great part cleaning area, lots of work bench space on those counters, and you can use her best T-FAL pots to soak parts in de-greaser!

Well, I knew a guy who parked his Harley in his living room........His house always smelled like gas and oil..............I think it was in his ex wifes divorce papers as one of many reasons.
