Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.

I thought I had everything in time but I didn't. Once I got it up to operating temp it started to backfire and it wouldn't idle. So I re checked the timing and found out I was about three teeth off. Once I re-clocked the distributer by readjusting the vacuum advance and re stating the distributer it ran perfect. Now I have full power! If these 235s are off one tooth they cause a bunch of problems. I also filled up the overdrive trans and tested it. I have all gears. At least it moves. Today I need to secure the fuel line and run the sending unit with to the cab since I am getting fuel to the engine. I still have to straighten up the wires under the dash. I Just have them running to the fuse box. The front grill and instrument bracket is on its way to be chromed!
