Duh

I had been contemplating installing a carb kit in my 1 ton 1970 model, has 360, never would start right and died a lot when warming up and trying to give it gas. Pulled a plug wire from the distributer and it had green stuff (corrosion) growing and the end of wire stayed in distributer. Installed new wires and distributer cap, and she fires right up. Dang I felt DUHM, dont even know how it was running in the first place.

John, at least the guy can admit his errors. I feel that he is more of a man then those who don't admit their errors.

Thanks for the comment Seafire, I certainly wasnt trying to let anyone know how dumbice(believe thats how u put it wiliker) I am. Although for your info wiliker I have been put on disability because of not being able to stay focused on tasks and forgetfulness and some other issues. I was purty proud that I had found a problem with my ol truck.. I always have told my kids to listen to thier elders, because they could gain knowledge from them..... pretty apparent they dont want to listen to all of them, as some of them only know how to blurt out BS

That is the way I took it also(as kidding around), but I guess the written word doesn't convey intentions like conversation does.
