The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts She "Coughed"....

I have been "tinkering" here and there, with my 46 2-ton. My nephew stopped by and we decided to see what we could do. It took us over an hour, but we managed to get the old points and condensor out and replaced them. I had already done the plugs, coil, cap, etc, so I was ready to try things out. We sprayed a bit of gas in the carb and she sputtered, choughed and ran for a few seconds! I still need to pull the tank adn gas lines to clean them up, but at least I know she WILL run.

i had a 46 chevy car,a couple years ago,changed,starter..fuel pump and generator...car was sitting for 20 years...We put the charger on it,dumped gas down the carb,and finally pulled it to get it started..It Did!!...what a feeling!!!You'll be overjoyed when you can drive it,,,,even a little ways,i was...

it's a thrill when it first starts

Congrats, your a lucky fellow. I wish I could of had fun like that with my nephew and know he would of had fun helping. Cancer took him at 18 years of age, miss him for sure. Have fun with yours and the truck too :-)
