What up to all . Just thought I'd post that my 74 that had been in garage waiting for her owner to wake her up is up and running after sitting for 17 years. Changed the oil plugs new wires new abs 2 650 new headers changed all the hoses. Was gurgling and pipping til I figured out I had the Dizzy in 180 out. Fixed that and it fired up so strong I couldn't believe how good with no adjustment to carb or timing. Lots of things to do still . She needs basically everything inside like seats etc.. everyone told me motor would be trash blah blah blah . Nope a little mystery oil in plug holes way back when and a ratchet strap tied to flywheel to get engine to break free from a little cobwebs . It never ran better . So happy forgot how much I love my truck .
 
We need some pictures!
Posting pics possible without paid membership? If not I just can't afford rn. Can't think of better membership to be a member of ,well maybe Playboy mansion member but CK close second . Work has been like a herd of turtles got burned on side job . I will do though soon as possible.
 
Try adding to gallery and linking to this thread.
Not sure if that'll work.

Might need a few more posts, too.
