THe thread "Suggestions. . ." has been a good one. Here's another that might also be helpful, especially to the beginner. Little things I wish I had known. For example: (1) for faster air excape from the engine, make the inside of the exhaust manifold as smooth as possible. (2) The newer gas eats up old fuel pumps, (3) The pigtail of the dash heat gauge is PERMANENT! Don't cut it off!!!! (4) Tail lights will NOT work if the truck bed is NOT grounded to the frame. (5) Don't dent the coil,
