Cruise-in

Rust stains, green algae growing on the tailgate, grass stuck to the wheels from weed whacking, Sid's writing in the chalk-like paint...I fit right in with the show-n-shine crowd at the local cruise-in! ;-) ...but lots surprised smiles when people look under the hood.

Gauge-arrange




Moved the tach to the steering column and permanently mounted the meth light in the boost gauge bracket...cleaned up some wiring, hooked up the boost gauge back light.

Then pulled a plug and was surprised to find them black as night! Under boost I've leaned it out to about 11.7 - 12.0 and have been running the meth (I would assume the steam would clean them)...but still have black plugs...I cleaned the plugs reset the idle mixture I'll see if that helps...still runs strong - just a bit surprising as I thought it was pretty lean.

Boost: it's controlled.

I took the truck for a drive this morning to test/set the boost controller...it works. I've set it at 11-ish lbs...seems pretty strong.
