I also think my rotors are warped cause the truck pulsates when I hit the brakes.

Time to start dumping money into it again,

Found them HERE on e-bay. Have not researched the brand yet.

Developed a bad miss, so, figured it was time to change the plugs again..... that was depressing... 6, 8, and 1 were heavily oil fouled. (serious ash deposits.) The rest had some minor fouling....... Hoping the valve seals will reduce the issue, but, suspect it is getting on toward time for a new motor... 178K on the current one.

Gettin' it ready to go on my Ram. Using Rustoleum Bed Coating for a grippy but not blood drawing (Cough-Herculiner) tough and textured finish.

That looks slick! (needs ablue stripe though......)

Replaced master cylinder tonight. And had to jump Ram to start it. Guess I have put off replacing the battery long enough. As long as I drive it every day it is good, but have been driving step-son's Taurus since Sunday to make sure I fixed EVAP leak issue, so Ram has been sitting quietly in garage.

Worked on the 76 yesterday. Got the plugs, wires, cap and rotor done.
Got it done in about 1.5 hours. Then took another half hour to re-wire the plug wires since the diagram in the Haynes manual was 180* backwords. Truck didn't fire, then got flooded. After my dad and I (well, I did the work, he told me which wires to move where, lol) got it started, it ran like a boss. No more engine shimmy anymore.
