Check what I found..
Went and picked up a 79 f 250 camper special pickup tonite with the king of front ends the kingpin D60. I showed up sight unseen and snapped her up for a whopping $700.
It was a good score but goes to show they still pop up in rare cases..
I'm pretty happy with it I just need to see if I can get the motor to run as he says it sat for the last 11 years but up till then was a daily driver. The motors a 400

I'm trying to flash it up and it's trying. I have no fuel squiring through the nozzles on carb. Carb is a motocraft 2 barrel. I've bypassed the fuel pump and tank and I'm running an electric 5 psi pump to a gas can. Any ideas what I should check to get fuel to squirt. I removed the screw in filter on carb and it's clear. With fuel in bowl it will flash for a second. Something must be clogged from sitting for so long??

The straps were more for show. The sinch chains locked it in.
I took the carb out and cleaned everything inside. It runs now but not well.
I'm debating on next move. New carb or new motor..
