    Update: I recently ran across a used Edelbrock "Performer" intake manifold for the 318-360 Mopar ($100 I did not even haggle!!!) at a Antique Farm equipment show. The intake had been bead blasted and all threads checked. A friend had a used Edelbrock carb (1406), in need of a rebuild kit for...

    Thanks! When I first did the lift and tires, I did not have the P/S done. Turning to the right was really affected. The tire contacts the drag link nut with the tire(bad). Now that I have installed P/S off a 91 W-200, the problem is solved. P/S by far the best modification I have done yet. Lift...

    Not to bad. Just have to get use to the "Flat spots" when parked for a while. After a few blocks of driving, they get round again. The price was right, and I like the look.

    Anyone know where I can find a dash pad? The one on my truck is crumbling. I can live with the glove box pad being cracked, but the giant hole above the gauges bothers me. I checked on-line and nothing jumped out at me.

    As soon as I saw the rust in the carb I thought of your post about the fuel pump M880 GC. Thanks for the advice. Cleaning the carb made an 80% improvement. I'm not getting a steady idle (serges) in netural/park, better in gear. Now i'm back to the timing chain issue again. Would dielectric...
