You bet! It is totally worth it though. It more than doubled the distance I can drive. The bll tank is around 18 gallons. My stock tank is 13. It's very nice being able to drive so far.

After touching 7000rpm on a few occasions decided to install a rev limiter.
Setting the MSD limiter to 5800rpm , hope it will prevent unwelcome damage.

I need to figure out why my tach quit working right so I know what my rpms are (works once in awhile for a few seconds). Stopped working when I changed my clutch in my old engine/trans setup and I must have hit some wires under the dash when I was putting my clutch master back in

I looked up rev limiters for my hei dizzy I'm running and I'm looking at $99.

Forgot to ask but how well does your carb perform off roading at angles, bouncing, etc...

So far so good tackled some serious inclines with no ill effects. Will hopefully have her in the dunes this weekend. Will be able to see how it performs in full throttle uphill runs.

The Ranger at work again, bought an 1975 F250 4X4 a while ago only had time to pick it up this past weekend. The Ranger handled the 7000lbs in tow quite well despite of a very muddy road. Now for project F250.:icon_welder:
