Finally...some time on Old Blue...
truck has sat idle for a few years now while I worked on other projects, mostly for other folk...
Purchased this 1967 LWB 2WD V8 about four years ago...put it on the shop, ripped off the bed and doors and seat to clear out mice nests...and there it sat...until today.
Checked the oil and coolant...
Bypassed the ignition circuit and starter circuit by removing firewall plug...
Pulled carb and cleaned out the junk...no gasket set available so I reused the old ones...
Added a temporary fuel supply system and primed the carb....(original 2GC )
Turned her over a bit to get some oil circulating....
Connected power to Ign circuit and away she went !.....
No smoke
No blowby
Let her warm up for about 15 minutes...darned thing sits there and idles !
Some times it nice to work on something just for yourself...
Pics coming later...
Nearly time for football!!!!
