Talking It can move now!

first things first. Thank You Wanna and Steam!!!!!!

I can believe how well my truck is running now. I highly recommend the 3200 spring and grinding the afc lever.

I could not have done it without either of the Dave's. They really helped me out by auctually doing the sping and pump mods for me.

I just have to say Thank You again.

I just wish I could repay them.

And thank you wanna for coming to West 'BY GOD' Virginia to give me a hand, but unfortunatly I did not have the alignment tool to do the rear seal but we tinkered anyway

It was fun! Well, once we got the last screw out of the pump top anyway...

Michael's truck moves out pretty good now, it'll even light up a tire from a stop sign. Not bad for less than $200 worth of parts and some tuning.

I gotta say a big thank you to SteamDave for helping with the governor spring. His and mine went really easy, but Michael's darn near kicked our butts. The bolt under the AFC next to the cylinder head was stuck good, I stripped it out trying to remove it. Dave had to drill the head off, a tricky job given where the bolt is.

Michael, Just seeing the big after you went for a drive when we were finished was enough for me. I just hope your face doesn't hurt too much from that smile.
Glad to hear you like your truck even better now

Wanna, just glad I could help. I was a little concerned at first, drilling where you really couldn't get a straight line to the bolt. Once enough of the bolt head had been made into chips the clamping force released and the bolt just unthreaded the way it should have about an hour before. I think at that point all 3 of us breathed a sigh of relief.
