It already happened. I took my 83 C10 to a performance tune up shop years ago. Back in the late '90s. I put in a performance crate motor. I asked them to tune the carb. It ran so bad I learned to tune a carb with a vacuum gauge. Runs like a champ down the street. Idle shakes the neighbor's walls.
Dang, I may drive it out of the garage and wake up the entire neighbor hood early this week.
Not having a transmission dipstick is driving me nuts. I'll get my first crack at checking the E53 fluid level this week.
