Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside

She lives again...well sort of!

Murdoc, AmmoSS, my son Chevyman10, and I hit it today, and got it to start. Couple of good fireballs, turning the distributer 180 degrees, a small fire on the intake, and a mostly dead battery, and she started. It will stay running...as long as someone keeps pouring gas down the carb. LOL

My guess is a bad fuel pump. It doesn't seem to have enough to pull the fuel that far, and shove it up to the carb. Any suggestions?

Here is a video...if it works!





We also got the heater core mostly back in, did a compression test, put on the spin on oil filter adapter, and worked on the clutch.

The clutch slave would not work. It was taken off, cleaned out, hit with air pressure, pried on, let soak with liquid wrench, everything we could think of, but couldn't get it to move at all. There is no pedal at all. We bled it out, got some air out, but still nothing. Any ideas?

The compression test came out pretty good. One cylinder is low, but workable for now I think.
