Thanks Freedo and Samantha!!!
WE HAVE SPARK!! I'm 6 spark plugs away from firing it up. If I come back in here with a big WHOOOHOOOOO!!! You'll know.
Now.. off to search the boards but I'll put my query here too. Since I haven't started the truck yet, or driven one this old - I'm not sure of its quirks or needs and things like that.
My questions are -
I depress the clutch while ignition is off and try to move the shift lever. Its tight as a drum. I can't get it to move up, down. Nothing. It is in gear because I need to push the clutch in to get it to roll. Is it stuck? Do I need to get it running to get the juices flowing in it to get it to shift? I just replaced the trans oil. No metal chunks or flakes floating around. Just dirty.
Second question - I was reading about the brakes and how they operate. I have no pedal right now. Once on will they activate? Do I need that power or should they be able to pump up when the truck is off? I was going to check the fluid level but am letting PB Blaster soak on the plug as it's tight as can be. These are probably silly questions but - ya never know till you ask it.
Good news is - I actually found a brake master cylinder IN town and available if I need it. The parts guy was amazed he had it. I was too. YAY!
Off to search the boards. I'm learning so much, some day I might be dangerous!!
