Re: When did you buy your truck and how much?
Quote:
Dual exhaust with generic turbo mufflers got rid of that choked down, restricted feeling, and gave the 307 some guts. Honestly, it felt like it had 25% more power. Power steering parts from a wrecked 71-72 truck, made a huge difference. My teenage daughter loved it! I later installed a NOS 450cfm Holley Economizer carb on Q-jet manifold (total investment of around $65). The results made me think twice before ever bad-mouthing a 307 again! I converted to Power brakes before ultimately going to disc brakes from a 85 C10 several years later. Have fun!
