Yeah I am fortunate I dont have to commute very far with it anymore. It only gets around 11 mpg. Im sure that the lean burn crap isnt worth a damn at this point. I have thought of getting rid of it but Im not looking forward to getting into all that.

Yeah I put 2 different gauges on it. They both read the same. I may just try to advance the timing anyhow. This thing has all that 80's emissions crap too. I have gone through and replaced all the vac. lines in an attempt to make it all work properly, but Im positive it isnt working like its...

Hey guys any guess as to why my 81 D150 /6 will not hit 180*? I thought maybe the thermostat was stuck open so I replaced it last night with a new 180* and it still doesnt make it past 160* I let the damn thing sit in the drive way for atleast 30 min. last night after changing it and still didnt...

Im listening! Heck you almost cant start a thread like this til' you have it half way done! We all want to see it NOW! LMAO

What your saying makes perfect sence to me. However the sticker on the inner fenderwell indicates this vent going directly to intake vacuum. Like I said, your explanation makes perfect sence I just dunno' why the sticker wouls say this. The only thing I was thinking is that there was some sort...

It wasnt a large hose it was the normal 3/32 or what ever it is. Also it was a braided rubbber hose, as if it were ment to handle fuel. Ill get a few pics this afternoon. Like I say the sticker says it is supposed to be there. I have been looking in my Haynes book to try to find some more info...

Ok so I check compression and it was great, 135 on every cylinder. So then I thought maybe a valve was stuck closed, but I have no knocks, or rattles indicating a lifter or push rod bouncing around in there. So I talked to "good ol' dad" (former certified mech) and he guessed at a vacuum leak at...

Thx for the input guys. Yeah Im pretty sure its hydraulic lifters, they switched to the hydraulic that year, but we all know how that goes, may or may not be! Just have to check and see. I am thinking the same thing as fas as burnt valve. I had 3 burnt valves in my 170 from my valiant, seems to...

I plan to pull the valve cover soon anyway because it needs to be replaced its leaking like crazy! Actually has created a sort of "oil cookie" on the crossover pipe of the exaust! LOL Oil is baked on the exaust pipe. Now that I think about it, it sounds like a fire waiting to happen! Any...

Hey guys I am in need of a little input. I just picked up an 81 truck with a /6 and the #6 cylinder is "missing". I have spark all the way to the plug. I pulled the plugs and swapped in new ones and thats when I noticed that #6 was fouled black. All the rest are nice and clean white. I them...

Hey just a heads up, welding that manifold can turn out to be a real pain. The metal being cast, is pourus and makes it very hard to get a decent weld on it. You end up with perosity (gas pockets/holes) and it will tend to crack in the same spot. However there is a technique that has been out...
