[DMCForum] Re: Did Someone Piss In Marc's Cornflakes? (Greg)




Injection is up & running. I've got too many other irons in my fire to
alter it right now anyway. But if it ever decides to misbehave...

I am a little concerned that I won't be able to de-emission it without
upsetting the EEC. Am assuming proper injection depends on a happy
computer.

The clutch pedal starter safety switch has already been bypassed.
Whose bright idea was that switch anyway?

I probably should have been looking for an F250 or better -- have a
10.5:1 460 in storage and nothing to transplant it into. With all due
respects to Dave Stragand, don't think it'll fit into a DeLo. How
would I mate a transmission with a bellhousing SMALLER than the
flywheel anyway?

BTW: this is the truck I was slam shifting around New Jersey. Is
currently in DC. Am taking the train up for Xmas to drive the poor
thing the rest of the way home.
