Re: Pinging after 40-45 mins of driving?
Lots of online mechanics have never touched a wrench , send their truck out to be worked on and can tell you everything you ever wanted to know about building engines according to whatever book their reading at the moment ! I used to chuckle when I'd over hear a new owner brag about the new truck he brought to a show and how long he worked on it when all he did was sign the check and hand it to me ! Put a Pontiac quadrajet on it 850 CFM and it will run just fine. I wish you lived closer for 2 reasons , 1 being you would be buying me a LOT of Heineken , and 2 I'd love to see your face when a little 292 smokes your big old bad V8 . Bhwaaaa .... Bhwaaaa...Bhwaaaa .....and gone !
Weight and balance ....Weight and balance ............100 ft burnouts are easy in any truck , getting one to launch correctly with 75 % of the weight in front is a whole nother ball game
