Thanks on the trans info....I'm not sure I want to mess with a 3 speed with a cobbled up gear splitter/OD unit, factory or no or a 4 speed like this one....(seems the gears are still pretty far apart even on the A-883 - 1st = 3.09 2nd = 1.67 3rd = 1.00 4th = 0.73)...all the research indicates the T-5 is damn near bolt in. I still have to talk with Mr. Langdon, prolly go with his suggestions....so far all his experience has been spot on for me and this truck.

As for the lean hole, I think I mighta removed much of it...hit the subject hills this AM on the ride to work and powered up them without haveing to press thru to WOT. Seems some of the tweaking and especially finalizing up the linkage adjustments this weekend helped a lot.

I still have the larger secondary idle jet on the way and I'll try it out....right now feels like i have great idle, great transition and main, so the primary is all in and right. On the secondary side, seems the transition is a bit weak untill reaching WOT which is just fine as I so far have not pushed this old truck past 80 mph.

We'll see if a closer match between primary and secondary idle jet sizes provides that additional pulling power I've been searching for in the middle range of 3rd gear.
