    That's exactly how I learned to Time an Engine. I remember I timed my 400M in my 79 Bronco then it got sent to the shop for some other things. I've know the owner since I was little and he asked me if I timed it by ear and when I said yes he laughed alil and said I was only about MAYBE a 10th off after checking it with his timing light.

    Sounds like what happened to me but I ran out of Fuel on Caryville Mountain in Tennessee. My problem wasn't the vent either. Mechanic mixed up the lines when he put the tank back on.

    Yeah Joey the national average was around 1.00 a gallon In the United States in 1989 so some places may have been lower hahaha. I just looked it up hahahaha. Also I was 2yrs old in 89 hahaha.

    They make Tank strap rubber you can order to fit under them straps to protect from Rubbing and Rusting. Don't go the cheap route and try to put 4inch strap material under the straps because that will in turn cause rubbing of the tank and it acts like Sand paper hahaha. I know from personal experience on a 1995 Peterbilt 379 logging/OTR truck I drove for about 2yrs.

    The Green Hornet which has the MP8 at 445hp under the hood and a 13spd gets 5-6mpg. She used to get like 2-3 if that but after changing the egr it went up.

    I'm doing well haven't had a chance to do anymore digging into The Green Hornets history. Had a great Christmas went down to my mother in laws again for Christmas 🎄.

    Good deal. I'm not sure on the diameter of an older Mack steering wheel but I think the one on the truck now is 20-22 inches I believe

    I've been pondering a Way to make the Inside of "THE GREEN HORNET " Look like an old school Mack. We tried the old school thirteen speed shifter knob but it won't hook up to the 4 air supply lines on the tranny. So I was thinking of maybe getting a old Mack Steering wheel and seeing if it would fit. Any thoughts or suggestions if an old Steering wheel would fit would be greatly appreciated. Now remember She's a 2016 Mack CHU613 PINNACLE for reference

    Thanks Bob. I try. I can't stand a dirty truck especially with all this chrome hahaha. And yet we have guys at this company that hardly wash their trucks and laugh at me for polishing the chrome and aluminum on mine

    It's an addiction for me always has been even before I was old enough to drive. I'll drive till they tell me I can't do it no more and will stay with my current company.

    Boss told me that no chains were allowed on these loads since they are painted rebar and then told me that they would have someone else pull them from now on and I said good let someone else deal with it.
