    dome light

    In the spirit of 'this might be common' My dome light works when the back doors are open but not the front. Anyone else seen this? Since both front doors act the same, it seems that the problem must be where they come together. Thoughts?

    I'm looking at Jim C's desmog schematic and i have a pretty fundamental question. I assume that all the items marked "x" can be removed. Once that's done, what do you do with all the vacuum hoses going/coming from that device? Do they all just get plugged? I remember reading 'desmog for...

    Possible? (flooding leading to rebuild)

It seems that this was causing fuel to be pushed into the carb causing the truck to flood really badly. Make sense? Here's the question...can that fuel flow through the carb, into...
