He was saying he went to install the spring and was having trouble getting the sleeved allen nut off that holds the throttle lever.

The one with the allen wrench in it.

 

but, i do alotta pulling, so i have to be careful. i dont want my engine to go

 

the problem was that the allen nut was striped out...

 

So ya got it off then or no?

 

yea... with an 8 in pipe wrench... and we did it when the engine was still nice and hot(the first time the truck was compleatly cold), to add in the heat factor that was discussed, but without the fear of overheating sumthing with a torch. it broke right loose.

 

Good to hear guys. You able to find a new one?

 

a new what? a new nut? no

 

Depending on what alot of towing is PODs might not be the best choice. I hope you have some air.

 

well i put her on the dyno after redoing my throttle linkage, and my engine turned 3418rpm's (which shocked me, bc i didnt think it had a 366 spring). and we bumped the timing roughly 3/16. when i was lighting it up on the rollers she didnt try to overheat. but going down the highway, thats a different story.

 

How much power did you make up that high? The engine will turn it, just no fuel to make any power.
