Tune up all done.

[muncher]

Well finally got the tune up and re chip done. Whilst I was there I had a throttle body spacer fitted to the tbi 305.
On the drive home I noticed the throttle response was crisper, seemed a lot more eager to get up and go.
With the above, headers, new exhaust and rebuilt engine. I am really pleased with the result. Truck drives smooth and is a lot more responsive. I can spin the wheels with a lot more ease.....if I want to
Now turning my attention to body/respray, then interior.
Lots to do

nice muncher - i'm looking forward to that feeling myself...trying to get it on the road this summer.

Do you have any more details on the tune and chip? I have 305 also and I wasn't planning on doing much to it but you have me intrigued.

Cheers

The tune up consisted of.
New plugs
New Leads
New distributor cap and rotor arm.
The guy who chipped it took it for a drive for various tests. Came back put in a new chip that took in to account the other mods I had done ie removed smog stuff, Headers etc
Took it out again, more testing at various speeds etc. All done.
I also had a throttle body spacer fitted. For a TBI engine this works well.
Don't expect massive gains but you should notice an improvement.
I will know more about the mpg gains once I have driven it for a while.
One thing I do like is the cold start revs just a little lower. I always thought they were a little high before.

Nice thanks for the shopping list - I mean info.

Have you noticed an improvement in MPG?
