Those torrents are decent to drive, comfortable size. But not a whole lot of fun to work on. heater core, like most new vehicles are not easy to replace. next go round, i will get customer to sign off on warranty and cut the tubes, it comes out without having to pull entire dash.

Petronix is one way to convert to electronic ign. the slant 6 conversion hasbeen done successfully, guys on p15-d24.com have covered it. But its a difficult site to navigate. I have a 51 fargo,1/2 ton and am sticking with the point ignition, with truck on 12 volts it starts quick and runs well...
