That might explain that. I have an 80. I also have an AC cab. Well I will again when I get a new compressor and fix all that back.

I still think the blower switch is messed up cause I am thinking my speed doesn't change with the position.
Not sure about your 80 model, but think that there's a resistor/relay for the blower motor. My 87 R10 has one. I would check electrical schematic prior to condemning the switch

Damn, you’re obviously not that proud, LOL.

I bought a new relay. I don't recall a difference. BUT that was before I knew about the always on. Need to go revisit this issue again before I forget about it.

I have so much going on, so many projects and so little time

Did you make that up or do they sell them here?

If they make one that does not look like a lowrider I might consider putting one on my truck
I bought it from another member who was making them. Ask @bluex hes the one i bought it from.

I had got a few from him as well. With the new business going, I don't think he has much time to check in here as often.

Well, Saturday I set the timing to 12 BTDC, flogged her :beatdeadhorse5:around some local roads where the speed limit was 45, so I got up to probably 60 or so:favorites25: and no clatter detected. Temps were probably in the high 50s.

Drove her to work today on the highway- temps in the 40s this morning- I can hear some at WOT after she shifts from 2nd to 3rd.

Maybe 11 will work.

SCIENCE!

Tried swapping my 31gal fuel tank for the '87 40gal. Turns out the fuel fillers are different but I did find the source of the gas leak! Stinkin' mice! :893Chainsaw-Smilie-

Well ive had a horrible studder and sort of backfire at cruise speed and its pissin me off! I pushed all the the plug boots thinkin maybe some were loose and sure enough one was but it didnt help. Tonight i pulled that wire and plug, plug looked fine but the wire felt like a spongy spaghetti noodle and very fat. Im assuming oil soaked since its directly under the valve cover breather. So i grabbed my spare distrib and pulled a wire to replace it, cruise around town its still there but not as bad. I did see another wire in the same condition, anyone know if this would cause my issue? And yes i know youll all say do a full tune up wich yes it needs but thatll be after the $ spending holidays. Heres a pic of both ends of the wire, right side is the "noodle" side. Anybody see it? Also these are 8mm wires.
