Well , let's see. I finally got my Blazer to start up whoooaaaa! now that took some time. I took apart my carb and thought I had cleaned it all out-----NOPE. Forgot to check one place, and wouldn't you know it, it wasn't getting any gas. Took care of that and it fired right up. Smoked out the hood for awhile. But who cares my machine was up and running.
Next I found out I didn't have any fluid in the tranny (took 3 1/2 quarts). After adding that it moved just fine. The brakes seemed a little locked and the inside was dusty as hell.
So I parked it in the shade on some level concrete. and gave it a good rinse down, the washing will come later.
Things to do:
1. address the tranny fluid leak and change filter and fluid.
2. Change the oil and fluid in front and rear dif. and lube chassis
3. Change the antifreeze out.
4. Flush the brake system.
5. I think I may drop the tank and clean it out, I need to replace the filler hoses anyway.
6. Change over to an internal alt.
7. Change the front drums to disc, donor is an '85 blazer.
and last but not least..........Give it a good cleaning inside and out.
As a matter of fact, it doesn't even sound as though it's been sitting for a while. Lucky me, I guess.
