Alex Trebeck is recovering from a knee replacement so I get the day off.
Was cruising the '74 into work Sunday just happy on a clear freeway listening to engine music, then nothing, then big back fires.
Probably lost a coil or ignition box (MSD).
Gonna diagnose and fix today.
BTW you should have seen the folks around me freak out at the backfires. Cars started darting everywhere.

Looks good Justin, we look forward to the finished photos.
ill try too! now that i paid the truck off i can get to my laundry list and a half of repairs n upgrades.... it need a little something from tow hook to tow ball, but that's to be expected when you get into the upper 200k mile range.
hard to believe i have had the truck 5 yrs now (just paid it off) and i put about 100k miles on it! i drive to much haha..... i mathed it out once, i spend between $2,500 and $3,500 depending on price a year in diesel. i was toying with the idea a while back of a bulk tank and seeing if i could get a better price from a fuel suppler.
likely weld,might try and have my friend GTAW "tig" weld them for me... my steel tig welding is not great but doable, but i don't own a tig machine....
ive tried gas welding, but never enough to learn it.
Hey guys I'm new to this site really any site for that matter starting about 9 months ago I took my 1999 f150 with over 230k miles and decided to tear it down and start over since then I have had the body straightened/painted new wheels and tires installed new 4.6 modular engine wish I went for the 5.4 but it's a little late now 😭 and of course the stereo needed to be updated as well as some new brakes and rotors and a fresh coat of caliper paint
Love it! Should go another 16 years with all the work.
