Update on my truck...
Well friends, I think I finally done it...
I fixed the oil leak I had (I guess it WAS the valve cover gasket.), and I also finally went down and bought an Oxygen Sensor and I rigged up a Digital Air/Fuel Meter... At idle, I couldn't get the Air/Fuel to even be anything near readable...then in talking to my girlfriend (who was holding the brake while the truck was in drive), she asked me "But I thought up until 50% throttle, the OČ Sensor didn't get hot enough to be phsyically readable, that's why it's only used by computer's." DUH!! LOL! I forgot all about that. So, I set my idle at a smooth lumpity lump 700rpm, and put the air filter back on, and pulled it out. Driving it around, at a steady 45mph, it read 14.5:1.  Then..for the ultimate test..WOT... So, I took it out to this road me and my friends always use to tune our cars, or test new parts we put on...Sure enough, at WOT, it was 12.5:1.  YES!!! Finally, no yucky unburnt fuel smell when I floor it.SO, I guess the only thing left, is to finally get to the track and see what I can run, even WITH my 4.10'd open rear end. (Can't wait to get the 3.73's and posi in!) WOO HOO!! On A Side Note, I also finally found out where my Saturn was leaking coolant from, and fixed THAT! I guess the only thing that could POSSIBLY get better..is I could get my vette back finally.  LOL!
