drove it to summer school and after picked up some windshield washer fluid from Advance Auto Parts. Now the truck is sitting outside in a bad rainstorm, but I guess that's just something I gotta live with living in florida. I also have to live with the extra traffic around here due to the Trayvon Martin trial right down the road. all that happened less than 5 miles from my house.

^I thought the same thing, but didn't say anything.

Checked my catch can:

204 mi since I changed my oil, which is when I started recording.

Made up a homebrew CAI:




Put $46, 13.943 gallons in it. 9.3 mpg with 100 mi in town, 100mi 75mph interstate. Not too terrible considering how heavy my foot is. Was noticing ping on the highway, so it might be time to SeaFoam again. Damn city driving with 3923s...

Meh. They pepped it up compared to even the stocker Champs. No problems if I wasn't running a heat range cooler and a short reach.

I hate autolites... I always run 1-2 ranges colder than stock on Magnum engines, then I use champion platinum or double platinum and gap them smaller than stock. Never had anything but awesome success! I tried autolites several times but they either seized in the heads (even with antiseize), or got carboned up way faster than a champion would.

Meh. I've got so much oil on my threads they pop right out. Same thing on my 76. I've still got my Champs. Even thought about popping them back in. Then remembered plugs 5 and 7. Then thought better of it.

Wet sanded with Fine Steel wool , then 500 grit ,then 800 grit, then 3200 pre-polish pad, Finally buffed it out with some polishing compound. looks great and didn't spend $200 on new lenses!
