Took the truck around the block, down the street and far enough from home to make me nervous.

Truck did all right… had a slight bog/hesitation coming from a dead stop.. 1/4 turn on the idle speed screws and the truck cleaned up nicely.

I now live my life 1/4 of a turn at a time wink

Got home and it looks like I have a weep from the water pump side of the lower rad hose. I used one from a 69 Chevelle… with some chopping. Thought I had that fixed but guess not.

I did accelerate rather briskly at one point… seams like the truck is able to get out of it’s own way drive
