Couple of minor updates... I've put a thousand km's on the truck since the drag and drive. Little carb tweaking and the hot idle afr is now in the 14.2-14.6 range. Cruising afr is a little lower than I'd like but it's a work in progress After unsuccessfully trying a few different one piece oil pans that all had minor leaks if one sort or another.... I ended up with Mr. Gasket Oil Pan Gasket 6663G. So far so good
The not so good is that the constant 6k shifts at the drag and drive has killed my water pump bearing.
