Attitude Adjustment
Since the last time i photographed my truck, i have made a few small changes, that made the overall look of the truck a little "meaner"
 . Here they areBefore: [img]http://communities.msn.com/_Secure/0LwC8GloQR4On8xR3XlUWchm6GHuG9JcEoUIH9PVx8AWvgU3a3LvZOuGC5yupXQySB*t*p8gfl6Y/enginebay.jpg[/img] After a new carb, air cleaner, and valve covers all from Edelbrock: [img]http://communities.msn.com/_Secure/0MgAAABcR5K2n8xR3XlUWclUfX1o*RdWklZhK0oTUHpuSVrGwVH34UJrKUQuRRnNzj1V*hKpkvTIZbVWLvAS3wQ/enginefront0.JPG[/img] Before:  After some Dayton 255-60x15 tires: [img]http://communities.msn.com/_Secure/0KgD*A1IOXylr0cE*dcFaT1dFc!k16Mi8GRC4fwjnsi7eiDqj83kyzPLZefk8gBE0BWHbmOpjPpQ/rear.jpg[/img] ------------------ Lucas "Another proud owner of one of the coolest trucks ever built" drop_shift@hotmail.com My Daily-Driver: '72 Chevy LWB Custom/10.

Thanks! I simply washed out the engine compartment really good, masked off the engine, and put some cheap gloss black paint on it
. The carb is a 1406 model, 600 cfm electric choke. I like it alot so far, it gave me some more power, and i dont have to mess with the choke in the morning. I did drop 1 mpg, but i need to play with the jetting/metering a little bit more.

Nice improvements. Someday I will get to that point. For now, boy does the two barrel carb suck on my 307. Do gotta like my oil bath air filter - looks so odd to most people.
