    I didn't watch the whole thing, but congratulations. That white smoke is not coolant, but fuel. That thing is running way rich. You have some tuning to do.

    When it stalled and it wouldn't restart and you had to hold the gas pedal to the floor to start it you were letting in as much air as possible to the engine because it was flooded.

    Correct. Flooded car, hold accel pedal to floor and crank engine. Some guys may not have lived that in life.

    Good to know. That actually confirms what I was suspecting. So here's my attempt at starting to fix that problem -

    I really do appreciate that massacre. It was mentally taxing. Now figuring out my transmission issue seems to be the next conundrum.

    Hmm. Your 1996 pickup is rusting in the same spots my 1980 is rusting, and the seat looks about the same. It had a 300 six. Has a 400 now.
