hey there welcome to DTR. the 366 spring isnt that hard to do just look in the sticky. the first thread at the top of the thread page. then look for installing the 3200 govenor spring. follow the steps. pretty simple.

Welcome Oklahomaboy798. You did choose a good forum. The folks on here are good people, very helpful. As said above the stickies are a great source of info.. The 92's are a little doggy but you can pep them right up with a little info., what transmission you have? The factory auto trans needs a little kick in the pants too, I think the Georand torque convertor is the one most guys seem to like best. Anyways have fun with your old truck and good luck.

Welcome, if you have any specific questions about the spring install be sure to ask. It is pretty straight forward though.

Speaking about smiling. Do the spring. You won't stop smiling for about two weeks. Then do the ex. housing. The smile will be right back where you want it.
