Well, it finally went kaput! Been running rough for about a year and I didn't really diagnose it too much 'til just yesterday. Tore valve covers off of my '95 Chevy with the 350 and found out why it has been running rough. Appears as the cam is bad. Looks like several of the valves aren't opening all the way. Another strange thing happened at the same time. It lost oil pressure according to the gauge. Now either the gauge/sending unit is bad or that Amsoil is really fantastic oil cause I decided if it was shot and lost oil pressure I would drive it the last mile home 'til she fully died. Surprisingly I made it and it still starts easily and runs! So, where can I tap into with a gauge to check oil pressure and while I am doing it what aftermarket cam would be a good one? Would like a bit more umph and/or mileage out of her. Oh, and it is a farm truck so that keeps this post semi legal!

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
