Well atlast something happened. I was able to get up north and work on my truck. I started by finally rebuilding my carb.
There isn't a whole lot to report on the process but it looked good all cleaned up and installed.
I even cleaned up the air cleaner
Then I installed my new speedo cable and headed out on to the road. The drive went well. According to my GPS the speedo is only off 2-3 mph at all times and we had it running 60mph. 60 is pretty good for all stock everything. I wasn't over reving it, its just a bit faster because the tires I had to use are quite a bit taller than the stockers. All in all it was a good weekend. Here is a picture of my wife with the truck when we got back from the cruise.
Sadly, after this picture I found that my rear main seal is leaking. I'm not too upset, these kinds of things happen.
Oh and I HATE those Impala seats. I neet to find an original seat. With the gas tank in the cab the Impala seats are too thick and I'm smashed against the steering wheel and pedals.
