Thanks Chuckar, that's exactly what I'm looking for! I was planning on reusing the gages from my parts truck, but the previous owner had mounted them in the dash just above the stereo...not the clean look I'm going for,lol. Thanks again, and look forward to seeing your truck when its done!......subscribed.

It will give it more low end power the best part of the adjustable cam gear is now that it is dial in all I have to do is put the engine on TDC pull the valve cover and I can change it to what ever I want and see were it runs the best 3.5 is the starting point.

SWEET! Looks great, and no worries... just ask, I'll tell ya where anything goes, buddy!

Post up a pic if you have any doubts... And take your time, as some of it requires inserting like the wiring through the intake before putting the plenum on, etc. KILL IT! LOL.

You being in Arizona I am betting your tank is going to be in great condition. If not I have some ways of restoring a tank on my 88s build.

The only thing I am worried about is it had about a gallon of gas in it if you take the cap off it smells bad…. I was wondering if I put 2 gallons in it and let it sit for a bit and then drained it if that would work?? There is no rust on the truck anywhere.
