Well, it finally went kaput! Been running rough for about a year and I didn't really diagnose it too much 'til just yesterday. Tore valve covers off of my '95 Chevy with the 350 and found out why it has been running rough. Appears as the cam is bad. Looks like several of the valves aren't opening all the way. Another strange thing happened at the same time. It lost oil pressure according to the gauge. Now either the gauge/sending unit is bad or that Amsoil is really fantastic oil cause I decided if it was shot and lost oil pressure I would drive it the last mile home 'til she fully died. Surprisingly I made it and it still starts easily and runs! So, where can I tap into with a gauge to check oil pressure and while I am doing it what aftermarket cam would be a good one? Would like a bit more umph and/or mileage out of her. Oh, and it is a farm truck so that keeps this post semi legal!
