Nice! If I find that my stalling issues are carb-related, I'll be going with a Weber at some point.

0 mph...because I'm rebuilding it. However, when my uncle used to drive it, he got pulled over doing 85 mph. '81 4X4, 22R, 3.90, 5-speed, 31s.

95 EASY! If I hold it at WOT for 2 miles down hill!

Before the rebuild, 87 was all it would put out..I think I got a pic somewhere.

85 truck 22R 5spd 4.10 on 31's @ 210,000 on original mill. If it's feeling spunky on a good day it'll rattle up to 90. We try not to go there very often

mine is '0' too. I would not go over 70 in a 1st Gen truck, which brings me to a point...FOLKS, this is for pre 83 trucks, not your 84 and NEWER truck. DUH!
pay attention to the folder your are posting in.

Yeah, I have had my truck up above 80mph before, and it just doesn't feel safe. 65-70mph is what I cruise at on the highway.

had a 89 2wd pickup 22r with a 38 weber would hit 100mph pretty easy in 5th on flat ground never tried in 4th or over 100 since its my daily driver.

the 4x4 86 with a stock 22r with 31s top is 84 tho lol soon to fix that tho with a 89's 22r

I bet I could get my 2wd SR5 up over 110, and she'll get there pretty quickly with the hopped up engine.
