We've got plenty of PU's down here in Georgia, it's not uncommon to see six or eight of them going down the road in a row with empty beds and single drivers. The difference is they are clean and shiny, with over sized tires and lots of chrome and they are used almost exclusively to haul overfed southern butts to the burger chef.

It's good to know there are at least two SA's in AK! (or is it AL, or AS, or AA?)

That guy's an idiot. "I think the distributor's a tooth off, but it's showing it's timed right, so it's getting spark at the right time, but it's not firing right"

He's got a really big concept error there. On top of that, that video shows the wrong way to seafoam an engine.

correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you supposed to pour it down the throat of the carb, and then rev the **** out of it to clear it out?

there are many ways to do it. pouring it down the carb is probably the best... other ways are, putting it in oil, putting it in gas tank. or for FI using a vacuum hose to suck it in
