well, i gotta tell you, my dad had 72 with a 250
and a three on the tree that was bought new by my granddad, and i can remember that this thing didn't take pumping the gas pedal like six or seven times before you hit the switch to start it.
and yes it was not thirty years old at the time either, i understand.
my truck runs great, but, to get it to start up , cold or hot, you have to push the gas pedal 6 or 7 times, hold it down and start cranking, after about 10 secs of cranking ( i guess ) then it fires up. definatly uncool, i want it to start like it did when it was new. i understand what you guys are saying about that being a part of it, but for me, its having it look, run, and smell as good as it did when it was new. thats
the old truck experience that i want.
i am willing to do some trade offs in the originality department because i stink at setting points and the chokes on these old babies. i feel like i got it running right but this is the laast obstacle on getting the mechanicals sorted out. thanks, tony
