Re: Got My '63 GMC Today!
We tried to get the motor running yesterday but it would either rev up after start and then quit or it would idle for a minute and quit or die if you gave it any throttle. So today I ordered all the parts (hopefully) to swap the stock carb for a Holley 500.
The PO was having the same problem and replaced the fuel pump, points and cap, drained the tank and filled it with fresh fuel and rebuilt the stock carb but it didn't help.We will probably do a compression test before doing the carb swap. Fingers crossed...
