Well, I bought this truck and have been beating my head trying to figure out why I could not get it in timing. Turns out I have a flat spot on the cam. So Next week I will be pulling the cam and replacing it with a Melling MTC-1 Performance Cam. I am alsoreplacing the intake with a Edelbrock performer, carb, headers, and new exhaust. I am taking the Glass packs off, I hate the sound.
Today I replaced the "custom" steering wheel with a NOS wheel and fixed the horn. My plan is to restore the truck to as close as to stock as possible. First I want to get the engine running right so it will be a good tow rig for my boat.
I will post some pics as I go along. The following pics were taken before i changed the carb and steering wheel. Wish me luck
