Re: "Crewcab Jake" the 84 to 74 conversion

Saturday I went to Homegrown Hotrods to work on Jake. He had slowly become harder to start and keep running. The motor was running rough and any attempt to bring it above and idle caused it to die.

Aaron had pulled the hood and fenders so I had easy access to the plugs. I decided to pull one bank to see what they looked like.
As expected they were wet from fuel but not oil fouled. I found a bad plug wire and replaced the terminal.
I located and repaired a couple of vacuum leaks as well.

I decided to test fire and the results were a smoother idle. The motor still stumbled and died with minimal throttle input.
