Just plugged mine up today! Wow what a difference before i hooked it up i didn't know what was going on with truck after i hooked it up it was running like champ. I just have to get timing and fuel/air mix down... It helps with the higher RPMS the missing that normally happens when these trucks wine out. Hoping my MPG goes up as well I already think its worth it and i haven't even started driving it yet!

X2

I had ignition issues. Burt points, bad coil, bad ballast risistor. I used a 6AL cause I had it on a Camaro and took it off with the msd coil and put on my luv. Ran sooo much better. I was able to find the other issues I had, stuck vacuum adv, stuck mech adv. bad spark plug wires. Once all these issues were delt with the truck ran great and would cruise @70mph on the freeway (truck could go @90mph on the freeway, but motor was screaming, sounded sweet though, blew a tire and cured me.) and still got up wards of 25mpg
