So the truck did pretty well on it's 8 day trip. Only 1 minor mechanical hiccup plus a leaky windshield seal over 1600km made for a fairly smooth trip. Got back to the island and the very next day my truck gave up a whole 20 mins from home ...Tow of shame ensued.
Well a new fuel regulator, 1 new spark plug wire, new fuel filter, new condenser, redone points, reassembly of an Edelbrock carb and it turns out 1 slightly backed out nut on the ignition switch was the issue.
Took the truck out to a local car gathering this evening and it's running better than ever....for now
