just thought i'd check in.  no real updates.  had to use the truck for the last storm and didn't really notice anything different in driveability than before i saw the red tube.   still have to do the compression test.  
 found a brand new MSD distributor for cheap money.   when i put that in, i'm gonna check timing, do the compression test, new plugs. maybe install a holley 600 so i can rebuild the quadrajet thats on there.  i had planned on doing all this at the end of the plow season anyway!  might as well start early.   
 i'll report back with results.

it was plugged into a T on the back of the intake.   the cylinder that was glowing red is right in line with it, but wouldn't the #5 cylinder do it as well?
