My newest project
.... a friend and I took Monday off and drove 450 miles one way just east of Decatur Il. Got plated today , so the evil neighborhood gistapo agents won't send me a letter in the mail tomorrow , but I would not doubt that I get one anyways...got it running tonight .. needed a choke pull off and some carb adjusting / timing set ...
I think the guy was bummed when I jumped in and it fired (after rewiring the distributor and yanking it around to put some advance in it ) I have a feeling he messed with this truck for sometime and could not get it to run....... I had to get it running because there was snow in front of the door and there was no way I could back my truck to it to tow it out with out getting stuck .... Rally wheels , new tires and a 350 I am guiessing with a Q jet and HEI... I was real hesitant to buy it because he said he replaced a freeze plug it the rear of the engine ,I thought "bet it has been froze before" and it was empty on coolant .. I did put some antifreeze in it till it ran out the gooseneck... and I am thinking after hearing a bit of pump noise from the trans I think it needs more fluid .. so I called it quits for tonight , it was 28 with a 12 degree wind chill.....
