selling my old 150hp injectors this afternoon and recovering a bit of cashola from my recent power mods

wonder if I can sell the stock pushrods and valve springs too and get more cash back it still will have cost quite a bit to mod, but not as bad as not getting any money back and letting the old performance injectors just sit on a shelf. Now they will make someone elses rig 500+hp capable once he completes the rest of the supporting mods (injection pump, turbo(s), and clutch)

Just put another 60+ miles on her today.

The random cough back into the intake has stopped after ~1000 miles of driving... it must have been the PCM learning the new bits.
Idle has also stopped fluctuating,

Cleaned my K&N filter and painted the bumper pads. Then i couldn't stop myself and changed the grey plastic around the front bumper to black. Looks better black. I still like my chrome over the sport but I never really thought the grey made any sense other than economy of scale for Dodge, especially on black trucks.

Side note I have almost 70k on my current BFGs and have been shopping for some new shoes for the old girl.

i changed the oil in my 81. now running shell 15w40. i also started having a few issues with the 390 carb that i put on without rebuilding. i think the secondaries float might have been sticking or float level was set wrong. there was gas pouring out the secondaries and making the truck stall. seriously thinking about spending the $45 and rebuilding the carb.
