Making the shift....

Welcome!

Welcome!

Having said that, I have all of the swag in and I must say that vendors are getting much less generous. Only Summit and LMC sent me anything this year, and only LMC sent me gift cards - two $25 ones. That's a far cry from what vendors were giving several years ago, and it has gotten less and less each year. And, this year I've been counting the costs, literally. I think I'll have to seriously consider having an entrance fee next year - assuming I do the show. Gary, you have always done an excellent job and have literally "carried" this forum for many years. We all thank you! Yes, you will say that many have contributed, but without you and your tireless efforts our forum would not exist.

Sounds reasonable to me, Gary.

Gary, you are like a good Boy Scout.... always prepared!

Kcinga, does your truck happen to have an add on relay kit for the headlamps?

https://www.myautovaluestore.com/motorcraft/e1az19b888b-mop-yh380 I found this online, but know nothing about the supplier. Here is one on eBay that is very expensive. https://www.ebay.com/itm/395278832310?_nkw=E1AH19D961BA&itmmeta=01J5NTMRZYD4EZP9E8RBFMN57P&hash=item5c087452b6:g:IcoAAOSwSVNl-KUY&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKn0rD09OOMQalvleLTJwSNvnazSMlBa3ErRIJkX54p1rE9ZQS3BlaqrOh0a1f7loyUz2mVX2iLz6Qofw8gYohtGx4oysGNC6m%2Buu3Q8rihx9FgzTs5waXS9skZVyxFXRuGximTaoeOD8XxKF95X1QieQRQJYtuyC8E5pVC%2BhAIWfokHdncnZzRbV1D6IERgkgm8i6Ukl7PJ7B32JfG1HAzAqZCcYKrqAE%2BqWFBmMW1XwcLMzGhBBWZfjigvw5W%2Bvs8%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR4aQ07qtZA https://btsautoparts.com/products/yh-380-e1az-19b888-b-heater-blend-door-lever-nos

My gut feeling is that the low RPM performance has to do with that specific distributor. I feel like it may be defective.

If 3.08, an 8.8 inch? Then the question would be whether open or limited slip? [Edit] I just noticed the date of his truck, so most likely 9 inch rear.

Thank you, Mr. Lewis!
