Hey, what can I say?

I have been busy getting this old girl ready for the SoCal shows:

 

thats a nice truck, whats in it for a motor?

 

Just a straight six however, it is all original.

 

nice nice, looks likes its in good shape too. are you gonna keep it all origional or slap V8 in it.

 

It depends on how the motor wants to work. The carb has had plenty of problems. I broke it down already, cleaned it, put a kit in and and reassembled it. Everything looks great, however, the float must be sticking because I am having fuel starvation problems. I replaced the fuel pump, replaced the line running from the pump to the carb, put a new in-line filter and pressure gauge, blew the hard lines from the pump back to the tank. No debris, and the tank is in immaculate shape. There is no filter in the tank and the lines are clear. The only thing it could be at this point is the float or the needle seat in the carb. This translates into a nice long night tonight going through the carb...and plenty of beers.
