What are the symptoms when the evap solenoid burns up. If mine are fried, I'd know right?

Thanks,

you will have to replace your charcoal canister and evap solenoid. You will have a check engine light and evap codes.

Great, it looks like I skated. There's no trouble codes on either truck. Does the automatic kick-off on gas pumps always stop at the same point, or is this a variable that will affect gas-mileage figures?

Remember the good old days when a mechanical fuel pump took 10 minutes to change, and it didn't matter if the tank was run too low, or filled too high?... I love my '66 C10 with a stock two-barrel 327.

Amen to that
