Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I've had a high power bogging situation for awhile now, but haven't really had time to address it until today (retired last Friday!). Turns out that the plastic cam that lifts the secondary jets when the secondary air valve opens was broken. I found two pieces in the channel between the secondary bores. I guess the rest went out the tail pipe. Air valve opens with no enrichment, truck slows down on full throttle. Lame. It'll be a ton quicker tomorrow.
It up shifts too early, as well. Guess I'll have to replace/adjust the vacuum modulator. Second gear scratch for sure.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
After a SPID-ectomy, I took RAT for a ride to the local slop-shop for lunch.
Seems that every time I look at the SPID, I have to make a new one due to some goofy mod I've made...or.... SPID and Sunday drive shots: http://magwa.smugmug.com/Sunday-Drive/

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I bought my wood at Lowe's because I am doing this as a budget build and most kits I saw were anywhere from $500 to $800+. That's just way too much for my blood. So I bought 9 1x10x10 for only $153.00 & my neighbor has a wood shop out behind his house & has agreed to cut, drill & finish out the wood boards for me, for a small fee.
