To answer the question about recent work: this truck has only moved on/off a trailer and around the yard in the time I have owned it. This is the first time it is to the point of actually testing it out real driving.

Jon's site says the tag number is mandatory for getting a kit for these, but I will give him a call tomorrow and see if he can help me out. Based on the tables he has posted, all non-governed 283 2GCs use the same kit.

I can see signs of previous weepage between the bowl and the airhorn and have no reliable history.

I meant to check the heat riser yesterday but got distracted. I will do that too.
