to the forum, been with the website since 1999.

I just picked up an '86 E150 this summer with the 351w high output and a C6. It's been rode hard and put away wet for a long time. It sat for several years and dried out the carb. I've got that fixed, but it looks like the heater core will be next. I'll be searching the forum for clues and tips on heater core replacement, and other odds and ends.

This van also has what looks like a leaky front oil pan, but I'm not too worried about that yet.

The brake light on the dash stays on, and the rear brakes seem to be dragging. I may have some sticky (or stuck) e-brake cables to deal with.

Anyway, catch everyone down the forum, and if I pop in here and there, you might remember who I am.
