The wedding is mostly taken care of already as far as plans go. Now if i can get the truck done before then................ I was really surprised how smooth this 5.9 magnum motor ran. Its all stock with a carb on it. Been following mopar actions articles though as i really want to put the injection stuff back on in the future. A friend has an R/T cam new in the box i think i will get for a later time though too. Nothing radical, just want a little more thump to it in the future.

ahhh mmmmmm ahhhhhh, welllllllll Seriously, i wish i could have more people come to the wedding. We have to have a 100 minimum for the reception hall (we have right about that), and we easily covered that. And seeing how her and i are paying for it out of our own pocket, its definatly on a budget. Asking is the easy part---paying for it is murder, LOL. If we could have, we would have ran off to have it done. Something about relatives being made at you for life doesnt make it worth while though.... Weddings are like owning a Corvette, it gets expensive real quick when you say the name.

Go for the 20 gallon. Then you'll always have plenty of gas on hand. I had a 15 in my dart, but when i redid it, i went to 20 and was happy did. of course the turbo'd big block really sucked it down too.........

I wish i could install a carpet in mine----i have to find the leak first though before i do that.
On to other projects, i traded the old 360 from the truck for some parts, i finally got a holley double pump carb and will be taking the edelbrock off and selling it (not really an edelbrock guy, been tuning holleys for years though). I had to reassemble the choke mechanism from the parts box, and it will find its way to the truck today as weel as hopefully getting the fuel pump mounted and wired.....If it doesnt get tooo hot outside.

Took me almost all day to build the fuel pump mount, make the lines up, and bolt the carb on. If that gives you any idea how much i slowed down due to the heat outside. Of couse it took me almost 2 hours to get the clamp for the feed line off the sending unit because some ding dong put the adjuster screw on the very bottom with everything in the way. I think the bed was off at one point because i couldnt get to any of the clamps easily
