What did you do to your truck today!

I was wondering, too.

The sun came out today, so I finished up the head/parking light switch and the "dummy" choke button set up. Replaced the hand-brake and the hand brake cover.

Put the steering wheel on loosely for a "final" test fit. You might notice the little button on the dash next to the ashtray. I got sick of screwing around with the horn.
And, the hole was already there...Some P.O. got drill-happy, I guess. Now, it's a teeny horn button.

Oops! Can't see it in these pics....

Nice wheel mag, really nice and VW I see now with the guides that worn out but may be defeating yourself with a gap that wide, may not jump the gap as easily and foul the plugs especially without an ignition upgrade, maybe drop the gap to .055 or even .050 and try that may help. I have used the .065 gap like Olds or Buicks did back in the day of first HEI's and found it was a bit wide and dropped it back and the plugs cleared up, worth a shot anyway or as i have done before miled engines just switched up to a platinium tip plug with the small pos. electrode and it doesn't foul nearly as easily, I use the same for running an engine a bit fat on stuff we 1/4 mile.

Thanx ~

I actually began @ .035" and kept increasing the gaps until they stopped fouling so quickly .

I'd really rather fix it correctly .

Nice truck! from what I can see. What are them seats out of? and what all did you have to do to make them fit? I have a bench seat
