If a power steering pump or SMOG pump were to be going bad, you'd hear that rattling/scraping, too.

Now , i tigged a little too much on the heater core line amd now it leaks, is there a plug i can use to stop the antifreeze from circulating towards the heater core , or is it something that must be operational for the entire cooling system to work ?

So do the brakes work?
I've used a 1/2" copper 90º elbow fitting to loop my heater hoses while my heater box was out of the truck. If you can find one that is "street" on both ends, it might fit inside the hose a little more easily.
Way to go on waking that sleeping giant!

It might be a sign of why it was parked. Then perhaps someone robbed the voltage regulator off of it?

So it looks like my victory was short lived. I tried starting the truck again and nothing. It turns over but nothing. I tried hooking up an auxilary fuel tank right before the mechanical fuel pump, which worked when i first started with the truck, and nothing. My younger brother then offered to clean the fuel lines and carburator. So he cleaned the fuel lines with wd-40 and some reallh old carburator cleaner that has been sittkng for a couple of years too. He said that then he hooked it up and cranked it right away but nothing.
So first , what gives to it suddenly not wantkng to turn on when it did the night before ?
second , was there damage by using carburator cleaner anf WD40 im the fuel lines ? Fingers crossed.

SPARK
FUEL
COMPRESSION
Make sure you still have these three essentials. It is likely you are not seeing one of these three.
The cleaner may have loosened some junk that lodged in the wrong passages in the carb.

So how difficult is it to rebuild a carburetor? I think that might be it. I just tried the compression check and the lowest was 140. Im assumimg its due the MMO i poured in the first time around. Im abkut to test for spark but pulling them out and grounding them out.
ankther thing i noticed is that the battery gets drained a lot faster. Only a couple of cranks and ita almosy drained. Anybody know whats up with that?

Carburetor isn't too awful difficult, but requires your full attention to small details. The kits come with a diagram, and there is some decent info out there on these 1V carbs, on the internet and youtube videos as well.
Battery might be draining faster because it isn't being charged all the way back up. I don't own a battery charger, so in your situation, I'd throw the battery into my daily driver, and see if it comes back to a fuller charge.
