Thanks Chris and Doug.
I wish I had a better understanding of " flashing the computer ".
The guy I bought the truck from said I could tune for whatever octane gasoline I was using ⌠I didnât mention to him I wouldnât be using much .

Wow Wayne that sure looks like a nice one. I bet she will really scoot. You will probably have this one done before me too. Seems the more I do the farther from done I get. I am down to a bare frame now , bottom side getting slathered in paint. No part of it will ever have a shine like yours, very nice.

Hello Carl.
I have been looking for a long time . This is a city truck , I found it down town Atlanta by the air port .
Good morning brother Herb,
I will be building the cooling rack so it can be taken apart very similar to Chrisâs truck .
" Wow Wayne that sure looks like a nice one. I bet she will really scoot. "
Hello Jim ,
It does feel very torquie Anyone that has driven the dakotas with the 318 on gasoline already understands they have too much power. The 360 has even more torque .
Good morning Jan .
I am not sure the later model truck will even run from wood gas but I guess I will learn soon đ

Ha! Ha! Well Mr Wayne just figure on doing an intake manifold take-off-check-and-reseal-the-baseplate to get access to do your ignition distributor modifications!
This was a part-capable transition to full OBDll model having still an ignition distributor.
Should still be doable for you.
If every there; engine/trans parts swapping watch out for a different flex/flywheel tone wheel to allow for mandated OBDII individual cylinder mis-fire identification. And this on top of 318/360 flex/flywheel parts different for counter-weigting.
Check your front ball joints for wear/play on these as the early production chassis had a problem.
Pretty is, as pretty does.
Now that youâve bought the 500 pound heavier âprettyâ, you be working harder to make it Do-on-wood.
I have all confidence youâll getterâdone WayneK.
Best regards
Steve Unruh
