The engine starts right up every time, no matter how long it has sat idle. The idle goes to 1100 rpm for a brief time and then the automatic choke kicks in and it idles at around 700 rpm. The idle is a "lopey" muscle car idle due to the cam and sounds great with the New FlowMaster 40's - 3 inch dual exhaust system. The engine was completely rebuilt about 12K miles ago and performs really well with no leaks and no smoke.
The following items were added new to the engine area during the restoration:
New Holley 650 Carb and Performance Manifold, All New Duraspark 2 ignition system and components, New James Duff Brake Booster, New 2 core aluminum radiator along with all new hoses and belts, New Duracell battery with a 3 year warranty, Mild performance cam, Long tube headers that have been ceramic spray coated, New steering Gear Box.
Dana 44 Rebuild:
The Dana 44 front axle was removed and tore down. The following items were replaced: All new wheel bearings and seals, New bearings and seals in the 4 wheel drive input shaft, New radius arm bushing and new 4 degree radius arm front bushing. A new adjustable track bar was added to the front suspension along with a 4 inch drop steering bracket to bring the suspension back into spec after the installation of the 4 inch SkyJacker Suspension Lift. New Warn Premium locking hubs were installed along with all new wheel bearings.
All new brake rotors and calipers and pads were installed along with all new brake lines. The front driveshaft was rebuild using Spicer bearings. New Skyjacker Hydro 7000 shocks were installed.
