It is quite the dance indeed! I would really like a 2 pedal pump, then quick fire, then a smooth idle afterwards, but this ole girl isn't there yet. Or my knowledge isn't there yet!!
If I had the space and the resources, I'd slap in a known running 350 and fuss with that instead... that's probably a weekend job once you pull the front clip off, eh? Tempting but I have TWO other trucks to pay attention to that are either more rare or more cool. There is something about a beat up truck that just feels like freedom though! Park anywhere! Sit on the hood! Lean on the fenders, who cares?!
