So I have had the fortain to pick up a 52 chevy 4100. only 3 now 4 original owners the first being Greenfield Irrigation Project in Fairfield, Montana. next 2 brother and now me. Ill have to tell that story later.
The truck has not run in 8 years in that time has had the carb off. Im wondering what you guys feel is the best way to handle getting the old boy(name Dam) started. I know the engine has been rebuilt has less then 10,000 mile and the card was rebuilt but never put back on.
