I also found out why it was not kooling as well as I though it should. You cannot have holes in the heater/AC box. They were on the bottom and never saw them. The box was patched and everything hooked up. She works good.

I also got rid of the 31x10.50 off road/all terrain tires and went with the 255/70 all the way around now. It seems to be a bit peppier now too.

Love driving it. Now I need to get brave enough to dig in the carb redo to lean it out. She still running rich, but between not doing one in MANY MANY years and enjoying the drive, I have been putting it off.

Of course the mandatory video of what I get to listen too.
