Re: exhaust leak
Looks like I spoke too soon. I went back out and adjusted timing some more and now it has power. I was going by the white timing mark but this time I did it by ear and there is a big difference. Now it goes if I hit the gas and no problems going uphill. Still need to work out the brake problem in my other thread.
Oh and by the way the truck has a rebuilt 283 v8. New fuel pump, new distributer, new plugs and wires but I had to clean them today, new valve covers and gaskets, new intake manifold and gaskets and new air cleaner. Upgraded to a 4 barrel rochester quadrajet a friend gave me but needs to be rebuilt most likely. I have no idea how to adjust carbs so hopefully I can find some info on line on how to do that. It seems to be sticking when I try to start it sometimes but once it warms up its fine. I rebuilt the old two barrel I had so I should be able to do this one until I can afford a edelbrock.
