Some of you saw me buy this from SpecialtyRetail this week. Gotta say Fred was easy to deal with and a man of his word. Anyway got the truck home and unloaded. Today was small thing, power wash the engine so I could i.d. it.

Drained a whole 2 quarts of oil out of it. Was going to do fresh oil change before start up, but I grabbed the wrong filter apparently. So next up, new filter, battery cables, battery, and a prayer and we will go for start up. Bypassing all wiring for this step.

I learned my engine is a 1972 307 manufactured in April. Rated at 135 horsepower.
