    This is what I have been up to this week, I am pleased with the progress and considering doing a full out rebuild. So far......I didn't hot tank the intake like I usally do...I cleaned it myself using Liquid plumber (Muratic Acid) and the dishwasher...hehe the dishwasher is clean too! I followed it with Baking soda to stop the reaction...She is over 30 yrs. young born in '81.

    Soaking...I think she may be stuck so I filled the cylinders with Marvel Mystery Oil.

    Well she was stuck pretty good, The starter turned her about 1/4 revolution and she locked up tight (I suspect fluid locked) tried pulling her gear with another truck to no avail. So I got out the 24" pythons...

    She broke free pretty easy with alot of back and forth on the 1/2" drive.

    Made quite a mess, she spewed Marvel Mystery oil everywhere. (cheap rust insurance). Yes, all trucks are female...don't ask how I know...

    Nice. I have really been thinking about a Weber for my Tercel 4WD. Curent carb is in OK shape, but just a bit more umph on the hills would be nice (except mileage may suffer).
    Have Lights? Thank a Lineman!

    Thanks Everyone! AFL, I can say it was near perfectly tuned out of the box. I'll keep you posted on how it stays together.
