New Guy from Rockford, Illinois
 Hello all,Having a starting problem with my 1969 Chevy C-10 350/400 SWB. But i'll look through the posts on this before I ask for help. Its got me stumped though. Mine is a daily driver and i love it but it needs to go back in for a freshener. Anyone know of a good body shop in Northern Illinois or southern wisconsin? Anyway, thanks for being here, i'll be in touch. Ted |

Re: New Guy from Rockford, Illinois
Welcome to the board from South Mississippi! I've been to Rockford, but it was in the dead of night and no one saw me.
 Actually I was about 13 at the time riding with my dad (truckdriver).

Re: New Guy from Rockford, Illinois
Hey Ted, welcome to the board. I used to live in Rockford back in 1980---on Lippencott Lane.
To figure out starting issues, start real simple like making sure the plugs are getting to spark---. If that is happening, then more then likely it is a fuel issue so try pouring a little bit of gas into the carb with the choke wide open--and crank it to see what happens. It it is trouble cranking--check battery charge, then connections, then ---well, perhaps you need to check the above before we get to fancy~~. Huck |
