Seems like I was lucky that he answered his phone when I called him.
I gave the blazer a good look over the weekend. It has what appears to be an early TBI engine based on the valve covers but I won't be able to confirm until I get a look at the numbers on the block. It seems to be running well considering that the quadrajet is leaking quite a bit around the accelerator pump rod.
The interior is pretty rough. Needs new seat covers, interior panels, dash has a few cracks, carpet is shot, sticky steering wheel, etc.
The exterior needs a few small areas of rust fixed and a major cleaning. Door hing pins need replacing. For what appears to be a Blazer used on a farm it is surprisingly straight though. No major body damage at all.
Plan is a small lift and 33's. Top needs to go, and another roll bar needs to be added behind rear seats to allow for use at dunes.
I have about 15 old vehicles and for some reason this one quickly became one of my 14 year old daughter's favorites. She loves the color.
