It was a nice weekend here so I worked on the truck a little. I added hydraulic fluid and the bed goes all the way up now. The pump does leak, so I need to pull it off and replace a couple seals.
I also pulled the points system and added HEI. I haven't fired it up yet. I pulled that section of the wiring harness and ran a new 14 gauge wire from the firewall to the new distributor. I was just dropping the distrubtor in when my kids woke up from nap. I tried turning it over and it wouldn't fire. I haven't had any time to play with it, but I am sure it's something simple. Hopefully next weekend I will get a little more time to play with it.
