I got a rebuild kit for my carburetor. Now I gotta put together $20 to get a bucket of carburetor bath so I can get everything nice and clean, and once that's done, I'll be able to start rebuilding it. Also, I was looking around in the Tech topic in this section and I found an awesome site about the 2bbl Motorcraft carbs (click here), so between the papers that came with the kit, that site, and perhaps a few phone calls to my uncle, I'll have this knocked out and rebuilt. 
And I am going to get the choke working properly while I'm at it. I'm ready for my truck to warm itself up in the winter... :P
"I am new here (first day, lol). I got a 1981 Ford F-150 long bed with a 302, C6 (three speed, no overdrive), and four-wheel drive. The 302 was rebuilt not long before I got the truck. It was a heck of a steal. Oh, and what are some do's and don'ts [concerning these trucks]?"
Don't ask me how I did that. :P Welcome to FTW, mvhsnumber90!

lol, thanks! And you're welcome.
Somehow one of the sun visors on the Cherokee got left open when I got to my GED class, and it stayed open with its built-in light on for about three hours...
Cranked up like nothing happened. Man I love that Optima battery! lol

I've been collecting parts for a 351W stroker and parts for my 80 F150 for a couple of years. I usually only bought stuff at 1/2 price or less. Being down with the swine flu this past week, I decided to make a list of all the parts with a close estimate of what I paid for them.
The stroker motor parts totaled $2710 and the truck parts $784. I didn't think I had spent anywhere near that.

That is a lot of cash!
I had the swine flu, not much fun.
