3" lift with adjustable shocks and AAL, TPS disabled, anytime locker mod, MOOG greasable ball joints and adjustment pins, URD M3 s/c, Pioneer nav headunit, xplod 1000w amp, 10" infinity sub, tinted windows, lightly tinted tails, color matched front grill with blacked out emblem. Do battle scars count as mods?? =D

So winter is here and its about time that I put away my 2wd mighty max and start using the jacked up 79 toyota I picked up last summer. I've got a couple problems I'm hoping someone smarter than me can help solve tho...

First off, this truck has a 350 motor in it with an edelbrock carb. I think it needs adjusted, but I'm not sure whether its too rich or lean... I have to pump hell out of the truck for it to start, and then when I try and drive if I hit the gas too quickly it will bog down.

Secondly.... it has a chevy dash in it, and has only a switch on the dash to turn on heat. Problem is that does not include defrost. Any ideas on how I can get the blower to work on defrost?
