Hello sports fans.

well finally I got the truck running after dumping the stock 4 barrel carb because it was so solid,,nothing was moving on it,,so I got a used one form some one with a 68 cougar,,it's a mechanicla seocndaries,,but ,,who cares for now I just want to see the darn truck engine start..

I bypassed the gas tank line,
lets see I installed a brand new fuel pump, and conected the pump to my gasoline little emergency 5Gal. tank, than I added a good 5mL. of juice to the carb,,and RAQNNNN!!! the engine started real loud trowing dust and bunch of flying who knows what...I had to wear my safety glasses for this,,while I help the trottle mechanism to kkeep the truck runnnig at around 2000 RPM to get a good lubircation on it.

I noticed my exhaust manyfolrds are craked and will need to replace them,,but the truck is running,,ha,ha,ha.

probably in few weeks I get exhaust manifolds or ...make a desicion on the replacing of that big engine ,,for a fresh 302 and a OD auto trans,,that I have from previus projects...until than.
Gracias.

Cerveza time.
