Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?

Here's a few pics of the new truck and there's a link to the new hosted album in my sig... I included some shots of the original paperwork that came with the truck. Unfortunately I don't see a build sheet under the seat and there's no window sticker in with the paperwork.

Drove 100 miles last night to my friend's place and never missed a beat, but I started having what I think is a fuel starvation issue driving the dozen or so miles home this afternoon. Had to pull over twice in 12 miles. Never died, just felt starved after driving five or six miles at highway speeds. Fuel filter is clear and full when I pull over, so I'm guessing maybe a float? After pulling over for a minute it was fine again for a while. The Edelbrock on it is pretty gnarly looking and I'll probably replace it anyway. Also found a badly burnt plug wire on #5 after I got home. I'll replace all the wires and plugs this weekend and see how everything looks from there.
