Re: Cpr 1974

Here is the latest after the truck sat for a couple of weeks. The engine runs well....the carb on the other hand is a bit on the lean side. I had built a super mileage Q-jet for my 1967 C10 when I drove it to Florida and some how that carb ended up on the 74, runs OK just lean on tip in. I drove it to the Long Beach Swap meet last month (it got running the day before), the wheel bearing are hurting bad and I will be throwing a set of front brake pads at it too. I hope after tonight that it will be in the pink. I have a few people who might like to buy it.......well everything is for sale I guess.
