After taking the truck in and having the carb. rebuilt again the truck still wasn't running correct. So sat. I went back to the shop and asked if they checked for manifold leaks and he said no. That was the first thing on the printed out work order what happened? I didn't have time to listen why, I know why it's normal now people don't pay attention or just don't care. So iI put new manifold gaskets on but didn't help. The truck seemed to be running to cool to me with a 195 fail safe it never reached that temp. I was out yesterday and stopped and bought a new thermostat as a last ditch try before I dropped it off Monday at the shop. That was the problem it was stuck open so after replacing it I'm running perfect with all the HP a 350 with smog can give.
There's a short video on how it sounds,:nanawrench::nanawrench::nanawrench::nanawrench:
Thanks for all the support and help through my first motor swap and for Rich to give up his weekends to help.
