BBW, what did you do to modify the fuel bowl? I'm glad to hear you got your truck back together. I thought you were gonna hang it up there for a while.

I hadn't done anything to mine other than pull the heater and shim the FPR. Steve was always the one talking about modded fuel bowls. But he would never say what he had done. I guess we will both still wonder.

I know you wouldn't hang it up, I just know you were really frustrated with your engine after the injectors. I just worried about you because there was nothing I could do to help. I was at a complete loss as to why your truck wouldn't run right, that's all.
