Thanks to all,

Mr President, I did a search on the site and read up on the BW and how it works. Not quite sure now that I heard the PO right, but regardless, I have a starting point for understanding these things. A lot of the electricals for making the BW work are missing and there is no longer a cable under the dash (but I do see one going from the firewall down to the OD, so that may be a start.

I owe a HUGE debt of gratitude to SWEET for spending two of his weekend days helping me get this truck back into running condition. I was truly amazed at his generosity with his time, and absolutely stoked when the truck came to life. It sounded GREAT!

The PO's use of a grocery store bag did not prevent the carb from filling with a nice gas/water mixture that corroded everything inside (pics coming later). Don't know how long it's been this way, but if SWEET hadn't brought his extra Rochester along for the ride, I'd still be wondering if the truck would ever run.

Thank you again, SWEET.

Best,

Jim
