Hi David,

Like Jock says, check the image posting policy to the left. And then check the menu bar at the top of the page. Click on the link for the "Gallery" It should be pretty intuitive from there.

Wow -- you are close by the Old Dominion Stovebolt Society's (our local group of 'Bolters) favorite event -- the Tri State Show! You probably already know about it (at the Ruritan Fairgrounds just north on I-81 from Winchester). It's our major show of the year and a lot of 'Bolters will be there. I will most likely have my '72 9500 (your truck's big brother) there this year.


I have a '65 GMC 4500 with the 305 V-6 -- mostly the same as yours (a lot of the parts interchange. We do have a lot of knowledgeable big block V-6 fans on Stovebolt who will be able to get you straight on that engine. As for mine, it was sick for a long time, too, until I did the Pertronics upgrade to the distributor. Then, I pulled the Stromberg carburetor and the governor off and threw them away and did the Holley 350 two-barrel upgrade -- what a difference! I do know that that my 305 is fussy on its timing and plugs -- both have to be "just right" or as they say in New York -- fahgeddahboutit. Maybe yours is, too. Maybe they all are. All I know is that there must be a good reason GMC made that engine family for only a decade .... wink

Good luck, stay in touch and I hope to see you at the TriState! Look for Camp Stovebolt on the left as you drive through the truck registration gate.

Regards,
John
