1972 Chevy K30 Longhorn Build
I hope this is ok to post here guys. This is aother project of mine that I've had for a long time. I haven't had much time to spend on it lately, but am going to try to get it running before September 5th so I can take it to the All truck nationals in KC September 7th.
This truck started out as a 1972 C20 Longhorn. I have converted it to 4wd and it has a Dodge Dana 60 up front, a dodge Dana 80 in the rear, a P-pumped 24v with compound turbos, a NV4500 with a dual disc clutch, and a NP241DHD. I plan on this truck being my daily driver work rig one day. Here are some random pics through out the build.

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
