Re: RETURN OF THE ADVENTURER!

Considering what is out there in the new truck market, I'd say this looks like a good move on Ram's part. I wish they hadn't done away with the manual tranny option though. John considering they are trying to attract the youth, what's the deal with an automatic tranny? When did truck drivers become...

Do the upgrade!! Also the diagrams might help you out. As stated earlier bypass the bulkhead connectors and run as much uninterrupted 10 gauge as you can :Thumbsup

Re: 225 SLANT 6 SMOKE BOMB

Re: Engine stalls while braking or coasting '66 D-200

I sprayed some ether at the carburetor base gasket and noticed a change in rpms. Apparently this means I have a vacuum leak somewhere. I torqued down the carb base bolts and also replaced the ignition coil. Took her out for a spin and now she will not die when coasting! :dance I am now having issues...

Carburetor swap

I am contemplating buying a new carburetor for my '66 poly. Currently it is barely running on a carter bbd stamped 2378. I am not sure if this is original or not as there is a vacuum line below where the fuel line comes in that is plugged with a screw. I was checking out these carbs on ebay http://c...
