A quick update on truck progress. Today the new exhaust system was finished along with the install of posi and 3.73 rear gears. The exhaust is 2.5 inches with oversize turbo mufflers. Mellow sound, not to loud, just a little cam rumble at idle. Will try to post sound of engine if possible.

The LY6 transmission speedometer fluid leak was also fixed with two new O-rings from local transmission repair facility. Removed/pulled out the speedo unit from trans, took to trans shop and they replaced the two O-rings, one small and one large. No more leaking now.

The Quick Fuel carb expert Scott, adjusted the idle mixture a little too, now that engine can idle and be checked. Origionally carb was adjusted on dyno, where idling was to rough for dyno. Not sure may need to adjust low rpm timing of MSD system. Will check it out more once truck is back home. It has a little skip coming off throttle to idle speed.

Sure hate this cold weather and new engine starting. So far have not had to do any near zero starts outside. Get it really warmed up before transporting to shops for work and it is still warm for unloading from trailer, and right into warm shop.
