The hp 383 cam probably produced more ponies than the one you are running now. You will notice they picked up 50 horsepower just ...

Thanks for the link! I really need to paint my truck and that is definately in the budget! I have sprayed the rustoleum before on a trailer and was very happy with how easy it was to spray, how it lasted and how it stayed shiny! I'm going to give it a shot with the roller. I no longer have a air com...

I found a usefull tip when setting the toe. Before setting, place a plastic garbage bag under each front wheel. This allows the tires to move and acts like a turn plate. If not your setting will change when the vehicle is moved. Mopar400

Chris to keep it simple. I agree with jeffc, your linkage is hooked up correctly. You just need to add the small spring and also add to the length of the threaded rod. It is hard on the trans. with it not adjusted properly. You should have a small spring pulling the rear of the slot up to the carb. ...
