Hi All, I've been lurking for too long and finally joined. I inherited a 67 C10, 6cyl 250ci stepside. The truck hasn't run in 9 years, and when it was put to bed by my father-in-law, it was running erratically and was difficult to keep running. I had the carb rebuilt, replaced all hoses, drained and filled gas tank, replaced plugs, plug wires, cap, rotor, points, condensor, coil, battery, battery cables and I still can't get it to start. I set the point gap to .019, never moved the distributer. Two weeks ago I got it to run for 2 seconds and then die. Now when I crank, it just turns over but doesn't seem to be firing. Fuel is getting to the carb, when I pull the throttle I can see it squirt in. I'm now baffled and have no clue why it won't run?
It has become quite a project, the body is in pretty decent shape.
This is a great site and I look forward to being able to post and interact.
