Re: Frankentruck

Three years after putting my $400 283 in, I finally did a compression test. One of the very gracious members here sent me an early Christmas present, so I put it to good use today. Huge thank you to him!

Those numbers seem pretty good to me.

All the plugs looked about the same, with the one on the right being the darkest. That's cylinder 1.

Also, today's lunch was some cube steak from the deer I got last year. Grilled it and enjoyed it with some mashed taters and peas. Tasted good, but I think I like it fried better.

Road trip tomorrow morning!
