Re: '69 GMC Build Thread.

well, things haven't changed much.

just been rackin' up the miles this week, haha. i don't mind. i mean, hell. i've driven a 30+ mpg car since i started driving. i deserve to drive a fuel inefficient pickup. plus, i like it, alot. bwahah.

also, did some checking with my milage and fillup. and i totalled roughly 10.9 mpg. now, thats pretty horrible, especially for a 307. but, the clutch was slipping during this time, not to mention the timing is set at 0 (no advance) and it's still running rich (inside of the pipes are damn black..have to get to those mixture screws on the carb).

so, aside from that, things are going well.

well, besides the vibration while driving. i've got to check those u-joints this weekend, and maybe see if my carrier bearing is off from where it was - i think that is probably the issue.

and, thats about it guys.

maybe i'll take some pics of it sitting in the parking lot one of these days, just to prove that i'm driving the old beast. .

-Sam.
