I rescued this 78 F250 400 from the woods. The land owner said it had been used every once in a while and had a rebuild about 60k ago. I replaced the plugs, wires, cap, oil, oil filter, and rebuilt the carb. It was running okay. A little bit of a shimmy to it. Note #7 wasn't bent with original plug.
1) #6, is that a bad valve or rings? What step is next in testing/fixing?
Looks like #6 intake has been like that fer a spell....note the crusties on the pushrod tip. Also, it seems to be some kind of floaters around the bottom of that same valve spring?
#7 plug....careless install...? Wrong gap fer sure.....hehe. And, what's with the goober snot around plug #4? Sorta looks like that there JB Weld junk....?
Possibly debris in combustion chamber on #4, doesn't look like a broke or bent valve. What plug number are those? I run Autolite #25 unless spraying nitrous
