Made it out the driveway and back for the first time - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I took the truck to get gas, to Blockbuster and and to the grocery store, (all in the same complex). First trip up the road and back, and it made it back! Anyway, the timing is still to far advanced, it's real hard to start warm, the header leaks, I hooked up the heater core, but coolant just ran out, so no heat or defrost yet, and has a stumble when you try to speed up from a cruising speed. I'm just happy it got me there and back. Now for a longer trip, today's was maybe 5 miles. No leaks though, and everything basically worked fine.
