Haha. Well I am used to keeping my foot resting on it. Been doing it for years when I lived in East Washington winters!The high idle I will tinker with. I just want to make sure I get everything tuned and adjusted right so no loss of power. I'm about to move back to Washington in a month or...
Thanks both of you! I got the choke adjusted properly. No more stuttering when cold on take offs. I have my idle set right.Only two things I have to figure out is:
1. I don't have high idle so when cold I turn the truck on and the rpms are low at like maybe 400ish until it begins to warm up...
I will take a look at it this Thursday on my day off and let you know. Thanks for the step by step. I am pretty sure the dial isn't set properly so I will double check that. Thanks man!
How can I check the bushings? I've heard that you can move it a certain way to check if its worn out or not. I'll search some on it.Amkatt1, I'll check the coke operation in the morning. It'll be too late when I'm home. I don't think I said it too well earlier but the truck does chug in cold...

I don't know remember what class it was when I was in college that we did this study.But ethanol can ruin gas mileage from 10% or worse for every 10% of Ethanol added to gas...and it's worse for older cars and colder weather because they weren't designed to handle it. (Numbers might not be...
What size hose do I need for the vent hose off of the gas tanks? I'm at work and I want to stop by and get some fuel hose to hook it back up on the truck tonight but for the life of me I can't remember.....I wanna say 5/8......?Its got California emissions if it makes a difference
Are you talking about the defrost ducts (that blow on top of the dash towards the windshield) or the center duct (that connects to the vents on the center of the dash. )?The center vent is something that definitely can crumble over time....
The defrost vents are a little sturdier plastic but...
