Re: project: FTD

yes yes i do believe so.. i honestly diddnt look at the "name"
i saw msd..
high spark...
under 200 bucks
and i bought it.. cause im ready to drive my damnned truck


and perf.. the answer to my compression issue IS
the cam... the cam has a steep intake slope to "trick" my motor into believing that it is higher compression
that combined with the carb spacer increasing my intake volume i can easily "suck and snap shut" on the intake cycle..
the exhaust duration is much longer....

Re: project: FTD

Mitchell, I just got caught up on this thread. Looking good.

On your headers, try using Hard Hat brand High Temperature paint. I used it on a water pump and it worked great.

Re: project: FTD

aight well.. new update in...
major vaccum leak from my brake booster...

i guess that explains where all the vacuum came from in my truck
drove t yesterday for about 2 miles in the neighborhood and it was impossible to stop

so new booster coming in....
and hopefully that'll be it...
on and i gotta do the exhaust gaskets...
that's it....
