Looks like the next meet up is scheduled for the 22nd at 9:30a location to be determined.

There has been fairly consistent monthly meetups, often at AJ’s up in Cedar Park. I’m in the south Austin area and connect with several cruiser heads on a regular basis. 62 and 40 in my stable. Holler if you need a hand or want to grab a beer if in the Austin area. Ian

Haha! You fell for it! Now we all own a portion of your 40. JK, welcome to mud :flipoff2:

Seriously, check your plug wires.

This sounds stupid, but make certain all of your plug wires are seated, if they are and the issue persists, check them for continuity. Also, as mentioned above, read your spark plugs. A 2F will run against all odds if given half a chance.

I'd be curious to hear your opinions about the TROA pan you have...

What month 1980? there was a significant change in August of that year. I have an April of '80 and it had a ballast resistor with the OE coil. I still have the OE coil tucked away and can see if there are any markings legible on it?

Dang, that CB though! How about more pics of the truck? Make sure you put your bezel on upside down before taking and posting pics!

TROA from Colombia does sell tubs. I have not seen any in person but I have seen a few panels and parts. I'd say they are "pretty good" but would also need some level of massaging. I do know the metal is a heavier gauge than the Top Nault stuff. (full disclosure: I am a small distributor for...
