boy what a difference new rubber hoses on the fuel lines make. I can't believe that whoever put the replacement engine in, did not see how cracked the hose was from the fuel pump to the frame line. Replaced that then checked the one from the tank to the frame and it was just as bad. I still need to get the timing dialed in but at least it will stay running now. Debating getting a new 2bbl carb from Rock Auto. The choke assembly is effed up and it is weeping gas in a few spots. Pulled the seat out to check the tank sock only to find out there was not one on the lift pipe at all. I had a new assembly sitting here so I just replaced the entire pc.





I also pulled the old carpet out so i can repair the outer floor section on the drivers side. Passenger side is good.





I ordered a few things from Rock Auto including a carb to intake gasket since the original fell apart. I am not sure who packed it but it appears to be a little big. At least they fit the truck They are sending out the gasket and told me to keep these.
