Even in freezing tempetures. Then some trips to the car wash to pressure wash your drivetrain so you can eliminate the leaks you have. Luckily our trucks are pretty simple to work on. In addition, the answer to all your questions are lurking on the forums. A lot of smart guys on here who are willing to help.
Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it. I currently have an eldebrock carb on it, but it came with it and I think it is too big as it takes a few miles before I get any power out of it. Its a 650cfm I'm pretty sure and the motor is only a 307? Regardless, I am going to retire it for a month and rebuild the brakes/steering and check for any leaks. I did purchase a newer motor along with the hydroboost brakes and power steering system to convert the truck over and make it a little more reliable. I am sure I will have many more questions to ask in the near future.
