If you know how hot your rig gets then you should be able to just look at the back of the packages. They should all have temperature ratings for each of the different products. For example, I just serviced my tranny. The RTV I used to seal the pan said on the package it was rated for -100 degrees farenheit to +600 degress farenheit. I think that should cover me temp wise pretty well.

Jesse:
Take a fuel pressure reading prior to doing the FPR Mod to make sure that you really need it. Afterwards, take another reading to make sure that you're not too high.

I took a fuel pressure reading and its fine so I am not going to shim it up, but i am cleaning it and man the crud and crap in there heck my secondary filter (Mines a early 95 so its a 94 fuel bowl) it was hald full of black shavings IDK if there metal or what but yeah my truck should run way better now that the bowl is clean. I am also doing other cleaning things. And would love to Alec but dont have the time, and I am waiting on the DP cause I dont want to shell out 18 extra dollars for shipping I am a young man making his dream comes true with 'summer time' work. Lol

the black shavings are o-ring particles usually.

I'm young-ish (24) and active duty... I'd have more done to mine but the old lady, house payment, and baby on the way take all my money.

38 Gallon tank is in, and Stage I's this weekend hopefully!

Brownie, did you send your chip back to jim for a reburn yet? I know you know to just asking. Another crappy rainy day and I'm taking a relax day goofing around on the computer. Way to much to do, even in the shop (nothing profitable), but need one of these days once in a while. I am getting some bookwork done though.

When I bought the chip Jim convinced me to just buy the Stage I chip instead of stock tunes. So I'm ready to go already with the chip.

'48 fordster when you put that DP in let me know how it goes. I've heard that same brands are hard to install.

Do you have a standard or an automatic?
