Well the truck is running much better now 👍🏻

After I removed the old AIR tubes I cleaned everything up and installed the new manifold gasket and manifolds. I then drove the truck just to see if that would make any improvements and nothing noticeable. The gasket needed replaced and everything needed properly reinstalled and it’s good to have that checked off the list. Also repaired the temp sending unit wire that was damaged.

Started the HEI swap but Had to take a break for a week for family stuff. I was able to get back out there today and finish it up and the truck runs sooo much smoother! I forgot to order a distributor gasket so it’s leaking a little oil there but will get that handled tomorrow when the parts store opens back up.

Thanks for you help gents, I really appreciate the advice!

Now, to see if I can adjust the clutch so it has more use than at the very end of the pedal release...
