R44LTS - .040 gap

Long reach plugs, copper core, perfect.

Good I hope you don't have to go manifold vacuum I just don't like to do it but it is a legit fix for dieseling.

So, what happened in regards to your hesitation? Did you check the accel pump linkage on the carb?

I haven't had any other issues with hesitation, so not sure what that was all about.

Next thing to do is run new wires to my HEI and choke this weekend. Then install my fuel pressure regulator and set my psi to 5.5.

I'm hoping that will fix my occasional flooding issues. It only does it after the truck sits for more that 20 - 30 minutes after being at full operating temperature.

Dude once again, you are the man and have helped me a ton!!!
