It's leaking oil, but that's not what's under the truck. That would be excess degreaser. I had to tighten down my carb spacer. Somehow it go loose and was leaking fuel.

Yeah those lights are just resting in that hole in the bumper which is almost a perfect "fit". The brights were bright in the BMW when they were in there prior to me switching the BMW to HID's.

I might keep there here in the bumper. I don't know yet. But I think the square fogs I might put in the back somewhere for unsuspecting tailgaters. They aren't that bright and are a driving beam instead of a flood beam. So who knows how well they will work.

Oh yeah and I have been following your NOX issue, but no input from me man. Sorry, that's a little out of my league.

Ahhh, ok... Well, you'll figure it out.... Sure it will look great.

Thanks on the NOX... I hear ya, don't sweat it, I know you'd chime in if you had something. S'all good cuz I had Roger and a couple other Smog guys chime in... I'll get to the bottom of it. Just gonna probably swap out the Modulator if it fails again with the timing retarded... But first, I have to MAKE SURE that the BVSV is working properly... That can truly effect the EGR as The EGR get's fed to the top it's vacuum by the BVSV(IIRC), lol.

Take care, Brandon... Post pics asap of the decision, k?

PS> How's the carb spacer and all that working?

PSS> Can you put a Snorkel on a Carb'd motor(sorry, dumb question, just curious as you're such a mudder! lol)

Yup you can but the two available carb hats alone are like $200+ I'll eventually build my own carb hat and run the air filter to the inside of the truck. Or I can get an adapter to run the factory air cleaner housing on top of the weber and run hose work into that.

Ah hah.... Ok, well, was just thinking on a concern that you might suck in some yuck and 'BABOOM', lol. I know, you're careful and you know what you're doin... Just hate to see something happen to this thing after all the good work you've gotten out of that sweet motor!

Haha temp fix till I can afford a new tank, level sender and fuel pickup. Roughly $250-300 worth of crap. Unless I find a really good tank in a junk yard.

Meh, It'll do.




Temp fix just to pass inspection. LMAO. Didn't work, interfered too much with clutch.




And the Afters. Hopefully it doesn't make the tires rub.
