Thanks! That's for sure, heck of a lot better than the 99 saturn I have.

I lucked out and a family friend has a spare Holley carb. The carb is in good condition, they just wanted to convert to fuel injection. Hopefully I'll get that carb later this week in the mail and put it on the truck, see if that helps any. Either way it'll be a free upgrade!

But if this carb goes on right, Summit sells a complete kit of headers, exhaust pipes, and mufflers to do a dual exhaust for only $350, so that'll be the next project. The replacement Dorman exhaust manifold doesn't actually match up to my pipe so there's a massive exhaust leak in the engine bay. To completely replace the pipes, will I need to jack the truck up at all? I feel like there should be enough space to sneak the old one out but I'm not certain.
