'66 C10 250 4.1L: 4097cc or 4098cc?

TJ, yeah, I know from reading these forums of all these mods. Me, I am but a grasshopper when it comes to these trucks. I can wrench my simple, stock 250 by using the manuals and you guys here. If I start souping things up, I am going to bury myself. Remember, up until a year ago, I did not know a truck from a canoe. I am 58 years old. I think it will take me another 10 years until I know what I have now under the hood. I don't think there are enough years left for me to gain proper knowledge of headers, etc. such that I start modifying my truck. You need to understand: just this week I became comfortable doing timing! Remember how you felt when you were 13 years old and did timing? That is how I felt this week. Like a man. Look at the title of this thread- until today I did not know that there is no difference between 4097 cc and 4098 cc. And I am going to start messing with headers? God help me, lol. You guys will go crazy trying to save my ass.

Well, for one thing...and you won't believe this, but I'm 15 years old going on 16...so I clearly remember setting timing when I was 13! LOL! I've been into these since I was 8 so...had a few years on them anyhow.

TJ, Wow, I thought I was talking to someone older than myself! I did not think guys your age had much interest in cars anymore. I am impressed even more than I am usually impressed when I come to the forum. I should amend my previous post and ask: remember how you felt when you were 8 years old and set timing?....
