    craigslist scammer/heres his # blow it up

    I realize this is a little old but.... That phone number could be spoofed. If you call it you may be getting someone else. The address in the OP is a house that was for sale on the 'net and I bet they just found that listing and used the address. It's probably vacant and they can monitor the...

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    This was the "in" thing to do back in the late '80s. You weren't one of the cool kids if you didn't chop the top off of your pickup. In fact Dodge even made a convertible Dakota.

    8.1L swap engine stumbles when warm

    Pull the plug on the coolant temp sensor when its running bad and see if it straightens up. If it does replace the CTS.

    305TBI to 350TBI

    A 454 TB would help. The EBL will actually control two throttle bodies if you so desired later down the road. You can pretty much use whatever induction system you want as long as the electronics do what they need to do.

    305TBI to 350TBI

    There is a system available from Dynamic EfIs Called the EBL. What he does is take the factory ECMs and modifies them to where they are flashable. No more chips. You can tune them yourself. It also has a learn mode to where it will "fix itself". I have used it on my son's 454SS when we changed...

    FNG from Oklahoma

    FNG from Oklahoma

    I am a FNG from Oklahoma. I currently have an '80 Big Ten. It still has the factory 350, but I am building a 454 for it. The truck had sat for years before I bought it. I put air in tires, a new battery and some fuel. It fired up with about 3 cranks. I did unhook the dizzy and turn it over to...

    Getting the TBI running again

    How did this turn out? One thing I saw in your pictures is the grounds on the T-stat housing. It appears there is only 1 wire there. The TBI's I've had, had two wires grounded there. I would also take this apart and clean it. I've had them do some stupid things because of this ground point.

    Dash Pad

    Dashes Direct is the company that makes the urethane replacement dashes that don't fit so well. I used one in my previous '80 model and it did ok. It wasn't perfect, but it wasn't as bad as what everyone said. Now Dashes Direct makes a vinyl covered steel dash like the original. I have not...
