I bought a 55 Chevy truck that has been sitting for 8-9 yrs. I changed all the fluids and the plugs and got it running. It sounds half way descent when it is idling in neutral but when I put it in gear and give it gas it lugs and pings.
The plug wires are new. I plan on changing my rotor cap next maybe my modulator. What else could it be?
