Re: very frustrated
UPDATE.. I had a mechanic take a look at my truck and confirm what I suspected. The flexplate is shot, the carb needs to be rebuilt or replaced, the timing is off and the vacuum advance isn't working, plus my oil pan is leaking and when I do get the truck started it smokes out of the drivers side pipe. He said the carb may be causing the smoke but id have to get a good carb on it to confirm. I still haven't run a compression test but I hope to do so this weekend. I have the oppurtunity to purchase an engine with a new edelbrock carb, new flexplate, new oil pan and some extra parts for a very good price. It would solve 3 of those issues right away but I'm not sure how to tell if that engine is a freshly rebuilt or low mile engine, or if someone just cleaned it up to sell. I know just on the new parts it comes with its still a good deal. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.
