I had faith in you all the time! You now have the title of Carburetor guru! Does this mean you'll no longer send me emails? Just kidding! I'm glad your truck is running the way it should. Ed

Thanks guys, I plan on driving her to church on Sunday I changed her plugs last night, and did her anual oil change . She's been "done" for 12 years and has 15,000 miles on her. I dont drive anything much, since I live right next to my shop.


Thanks guys for all the nice comments, I'll let you know how she runs after I drive her a little bit.

Talking It runs GREAT!

Hey guys, I drove her to church yesterday, and she runs now like she used to when it was kind of cool outside I'm very happy with the changes!! She starts better and runs smoother out on the road too!! The timing is kind of off a little bit as it has a slight hot start as is, I need to back it down a touch. Right now I have her on 8 degrees but since I have the wrong balancer and marker its hard to tell. I just kind of do it by ear, and since it has a slight slow turn over at operating temp, I figure it's a tad high. Other than that its perfect!!! I hope more MPG's too
