Re: Almost running

So I can't get gas out of the tank.... How does one get to the fuel pick up inside the tank?

Re: Almost running

Yes! The radio in this one is a real treat... Giant 8 track player, that they hacked the dash to install....

Re: Almost running

So there is a brake light switch fabbed up, and starting to trace the nest of wires.... I now have head lights, wipers, gotten, and all dash functions. I still have four wires at the ignition switch that seem to have no home ( all coming off the original harness) and two wires blank behind the dash....

Re: How do you supose this runs?

I have a 5 cyl turbo Mercedes diesel that I thought about putting in one. But the torque and hp is so much lower....

Following this as I too can barely operate my truck now that I have a seat in it. My seat is from a 77.

Re: Almost running

Thanks guys. Say, this truck has a dual master and no provision for brakes lights. What do you think of adding an online pressure switch?

Re: Almost running

Was definitely the power wire on the wrong leg of the after market ignition switch. She is running great now! Brakes were kind of scary though.

Re: Almost running

Well be checking this today. I noticed the ignition is a rat's nest of aftermarket wires so who knows if the coil is getting power or enough power or what. Going to test by got wire today.

Re: Almost running

There's no resistor on the fire wall or under the hood...... The wires run straight from inside the cab out to the coil. Where would it be?

Re: New guy in NC

Got the clutch, transmission, and starter back in today. She fired right up..... But now the Bendix is stuck! No amount of hammering seemed to work. Oh well, beer thirty now!

What is the advantage of a 2bbl carb on an adapter?
