Good suggestions, I had planned on doing plugs, wires, cap, button, pcv, fuel filter, etc. anyway becuase I found a couple of rough looking plug wires and Im sure it could use the rest of that stuff... I also need to get a compression checking tool....
One more question for those of you that have quadrajet carbs... I know that the fuel inlet is a potential problem so far as the threads stripping when removing the fitting to chance the filter... would it be smarter to just leave the filter out of the carb and install an inline filer in the hardline? My old man had a quadrajet on a 75 chev back in the day that stripped out the threads where the filter is and he got some kinda thread repair fitting deal or whatever to fix it... Anyhoo Im rambling again, thanks for the input and advice peeps.

one more thing, Its amazing how much I am enjoying working on this pile of sh1t... in the last few years I have built and raced a 383 sbc powered toyota mudbogger and helped built and worked on a bunch of other race trucks, trail rigs and cars but most all of them werent really stock and had lots of $$ aftermarket parts on them, its a good change to go to a parts store and actually be able to get an oem replacement part for the correct application for a decent price versus trying to get a parts counter monkey to cross reference a part number or ordering a bunch of stuff out of summit, although Im sure that Ill eventually put an intake, carb and headers on this truck when I build an engine for it... more rambling...
