Thanks Thomas... it is now carbureted and gets about 8mpg, and runs way better than it did with TBI...
Cant wait to hear how Rich's car runs, with valves sealed up...

I shot the fellow with the ramp truck an email asking the current mileage on the engine...it's a '96 Turbo Cummings.
Edit: He replied with 130,000 miles...calling in the morning. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Got up this morning and just could'nt enthuse myself to drive four hours to go look at the truck. It appears to be a good one, but heck I could buy a complete Jericho set-up for the car for $7500. If it were closer I might have talked myself in to it. Here is the ad if anyone else wants to bite... http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/cto/4691276882.html

That looks like a heck of a truck... That thing wouldnt even know your car was on it! My grandpa(RIP) installed one , in a '79 F350 Ford, single cab, long bed...wasnt a dually... it was 359 cube Cummins TUrbo...That is the meanest truck i have ever seen...it would pull 2 tractors on a 36+ foot gooseneck trailer, like it was nothing.... and it was awesome on fuel... around 20mpg.....
