Re: Jojo's '70 Stepper

Yeah its a 195 thermostat but I think its cooling just fine since it never goes over 210 now.

Since getting the truck back, it has been hard starting and rough idling, so I started to track down some issues:

1. Bad PCV hose needed replacing.
2. Loose spark plugs needed tightening, one was so loose it was leaking (I noticed that when I put in my new wires which I should have had the shop install with the motor)
3. Tuned the carb (it was idling at like 500rpm)

Fixing all that makes a big difference.
