Cause it didn't happen w/o a video ;-) new battery, new fuel pump, rebuilt the extra R1 carb that came with the truck (thanks to George for the fast idle arm!). Fired right up and idled after some cranking to get gas through the lines & carb. Good Oil pressure. Some valve noise- but overall I'm stoked! Currently running off a plastic gas can bungee corded to the hood hinge- The gas tank has been de-gunked, cleaned out, painted & re-installed- Just need to bend up some new hard lines this weekend and I'll be ready to move onto the brake system! (hole rusted in a brake line is what caused the truck to be parked in '92- so it needs all new hard and soft lines. Hoping I won't have to replace the master and wheel cylinders... Anyway, some more pics: Cleaned out, wire wheeled & primed original gas tank After wire wheeling & priming tank floorpad Gas tank re-installed | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,378 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,378 | It's so cool to bring one back to life.

Almost sounds to me like you have a bent pushrod. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | Don't scrimp on the brakes.
