Sounds like you might need to adjust the jets if i remember right close the jets then turn 1 and half times open that should set them where ya need them but sine you have chilton double check how many times ya turn them open. If it tells you.

Justin. I was in town on sunday and Curtis helped me with some stuff on my puter(Thanks Curtis), and on the way home I took a quick spin into take a quick look at your Ford. Nice truck and I love the short bed step side trucks. We'll have to have a mini get to gether with Curtis, you and me one of these days.

Maybe we could all meet for lunch or something depending on work schedules etc. We also have a chapter member, Bigswede, who lives over in Wamego. We could even invite him too.

Sounds cool, should have knocked on the door to say hey! My wife and I were just cleaning house all day. I have moved it down to the storage area, if you didn't notice the yard was a LITTLE cluttered lol.

BTW, if you have any issues with computer I would be more than happy to take a look at it for you. I deal with them in and out all day long. In fact, I re-soutered power pins on 2 motherboards today at work. Fun stuff to me (I swear I'm not a geek!)

Cool! Yeah! we need to get together, and get to know you!

Ok, I will admit it, I am a geek, but not very good at it.

Del, how did the new mem stick work for you?

Sounds like del is a stand-up guy. Looking forward to meeting him and the rest of you guys. Things have finally slowed down for me after our wedding in September and the holiday family rush is finally over so I have time to breath and work on projects. If anyone hasn't noticed, I'm sort of a shade-tree mechanic at best. I regasketed my 455, changed out water pumps on a couple engines, re-did my tie-rod ends on my cutlass, etc. With this truck I am going to try out the interior work and body work, hopefully it turns out ok. I wish I had a garage, working in the driveway sucks and the land-owners kinda frown on it. Oh well, the house will be paid off in a couple years so we will be looking for a real house then

Curtis, the added mem made a big difference in speed on stuff and I can now run a couple of programs without it going to a crawl. For others, I was still running 256K ram, so we just added more ram.

I need to get the garage cleaned out, so when I get Old Smokey back, I have a place to store it.
