To get the truck to run, (Paul we need a name for the truck) my team of Wrenchmen started with the ignition side of things. First a new battery, then new coil, plugs, wires, and dizzy cap. Once it initially fired I could tell the previous owner didn't drive this truck much if at all. First sign of that was the fact the idle was set to about 2000 RPM. This truck was screaming!

Also the vacuum advance is not working. Once this is changed then we can really get it dialed in.

Once we got it to go, we tried to make it stop (yes I know we did the order backwards, but hey its Homecoming!)

Add fluid and bled the brakes we find the Hydro-vac unit needs some work.

As it sits unnamed truck will start up and go, stops sorta.
