Glad to hear you got it fixed. I'll be figuring mine out tomorrow. On the way home it started loading up and crapped out. It's acting like fuel delivery but just put on a new carb so fun fun....

You might want to look at the fuel filter this great gas we get now eats the inside of the fuel line.

Picked up a new grill, painted and installed it but need to go back and get the headlight surrounds. I also hung the new exhaust and tinkered with the carb a bit. Slowly but surely I might finish this thing someday.

Changed my fuel filter and spark plugs today after months of frustration. It changed my truck from a gutless old junker, to a roaring, violent monster. I see new tires in my future, as I am having wayy too much fun squealing the current set everywhere.
Tomorrow's plans: clean my EGR, to get rid of the pesky check engine light.
