Dang I am racking up the miles. Time to put her away for a year or so.:rolleyes:
And after 450 miles on the new motor, I am getting a whopping 8.3mpg.:tu: I ain't crying yet, fresh motor and tranny still. Will see what she does on the way to RUSLOW's this weekend.


Oh, she is pulling good vacuum with the cams. Rigged up my boost gauge yesterday evening. Looks like 13 in. in Park/Nuetral and 9 in. at idle in drive.

What are you guys getting on vacuum? Just curious.

Standard pressure from the boost guage.

at idle my AutoMetershows 18-20 below the 0 mark....driving normal with no boost she runs around -12-14
Under heaviest boost she shows about +13 with no juice...never looked with juice flowing (too busy watching where I am heading to look at gauge other than pressure):cool:

Justin, that's just wrong. :flaming: Our trucks were born what, a week apart, and I'm just about to turn 70,000 miles on mine. Tell ya' what, I'll hook you up and drive yours for a few months just to even things up a tad. :tu:
