Re: 1981 Chevrolet C50 Pick-up Conversion

Greetings all,

Well finally got the truck running again...

Had the carb rebuilt, put it on, nothing...

Got the wife to come out and roll it over for me while I looked at the spark, weak spark. Changed the ignition module, nothing... A couple of burps but nothing.

Pulled the plugs and checked compression, all cylinders at or around the 150 mark... However, the plugs looked rather fouled. And my dad kept saying I should drop the oil...

Well dropped the oil and it was very thinned out... He was right.

Put new plugs in and it fired up. Dicked with the carb and timing.

It runs fantastic now, it is very responsive. I am happy and motivated again.

Tomorrow evening, I plan on getting the doors back together with the glass and new weatherstrip.

Countdown to the spring is on now. I am ready to drive this rod.

Thanks for all who keep watching my build.
