Re: 1964 GMC 1500 "crustine" semi- build.

Thanks brotha! Hope your weekend went well. I know some of the happenings. haha!

Well...worked on crustine more today and FINALLY.....well..I think FINALLY found out whats causing my "Once in awhile rough running issues" It'll run fine and then sometimes it will idle like crap and want to die...turns out the old vacuum advance pump isn't moving a bit and only that particular style can be used on these engines. So Tuesday I'll be calling auto parts stores to see about either a new distributor or a new vacuum advance pump. Glad I found the problem and hope to have it fixed to...really wanting to drive this thing. Did drive it in the field and...yeah...she's woken up and grumpy. haha. Yep...also got the throttle linkage figured out...wasn't that hard...just extended it and welded it and walla. Pictures tomorrow and it ain't a pretty throttle linkage. lol So hopefully we'll be getting this electrical issue fixed and maybe finally be safely on the road. Later guys.
