OK, Got the truck tuned up and took it for its first good drive. I chirped the tires in both 2nd and 3rd. Just makes you feel so good about getting it tuned right.
Just wanted to share it and see if anyone else gets excited about that.
I'm kind of a weirdo
For sure on the gas hog. I filled it up and drove it to work 2 times. After seeing the gas gauge I left it home for a week. Crazy how thirsty the little guy is. Got my new distributor in last night, I'll be putting it in soon.

Not the best but you can see how it was done. Will post for photos later with detailed info. My carb needed a rebuild and I am waiting a new HEI right now.
