[QUOTE="Gibby1, post: 1560538, member: 15983"] Jackson's birthday today, so we had to get a shake down run. Discovered a few things today. 1) The injector plate was loose creating a huge vacuum leak. 2) The timing was WAY off. The thermostat housing is getting in the way of the distributor. Timing can't get any better than 26 degrees advanced. I ordered a new housing that may work. 3) The vacuum line to the brake booster was connected to a coolant port on the intake, not a vacuum port. Needless to say, the brake weren't working well. 4) The cooling fan didn't come on... 5) The clutch is very touch and very high. I'll let this run for a bit to see how it breaks in but may have to adjust that. 6) The springs are REALLY, REALLY stiff!! 7) The traction was phenomenal in the mud. 8) This is like driving a completely different animal than my 4Runner. 9) Driving a stick again, is hecka fun! 10) Jackson and I can actually fit. A few other minor tweaks on stuff, but overall, a great shakedown run. [/QUOTE]
