Since I ironed out the suspension & brake issues with The Blue Bomber, that 14yr old dsl Dodge is a dream to drive as it has power to spare and I can feel the road as I jockey the beast to my destination. My neighbor, a lifelong GM & FMC owner, picked up a 2015 Ram 1500 Ecodsl and we recently took a day trip to tend to his property 5 counties over...the ride was smooth & quiet, like sitting on a nice couch to watch the TV on a lazy day, it was hard to tell that we were zipping down the Pickle Parkway at 80+ for most of that trip. I commented to him that his Ram made my Ram feel like an antique, as it's a bit of a screamer when ya get over 65...I did not tell him that I preferred my old beast cuz it had a brutish feel to it, but I did say that they do not make'm like that anymore. And when I'm driving a B-series, it has an even more seat-of-the-pants feel that is quite enjoyable on a nice leisurely day

I put the MMO in the cylinders as well to free up the rings, usually a day or three does the trick...also pull the air horn off of the carb to put MMO on the accelerator to soften it back up again to see if it works; if not, then a new carb kit is in order. Either way, put a little fresh gas in there before sealing it back up to prime the jets. Ya might want to pull the distributor cap and do some cleaning in there and the cap to blow out the cobwebs (lubricate as needed) and shine up the contacts, maybe the same should be done with the regulator as well. To soften up the crank seals, after startup, let the engine idle for <5 minutes then kill it to let the oil soak into the seals a little. Grab some lunch, then restart
