Re: Over 25 Years Later, Finally My 71 C-10 Truck Build

The last time I drove the truck, something happened and it's running like crap. I thought it was the carb. I have a holley that has always been a bit of a pain, so I bought an edelbrock from msgross and installed it, only to find the problem still there. I had planned on the carb swap anyway, so no loss there. So I looked for vacuum leaks, but found nothing. I decided to check the timing again but the timing light wouldn't work. I switch the lead from #1 plug wire to #7 and the light worked, switched it back, no go. So tomorrow I'll be installing new plugwires, cap and rotor, reset timing and see what happens.

It's supposed to warm up and I think I'll get back to work on the cab. I want to finish what I can and then haul it over to the body shop for the last bit of welding.
