I got it started

Well after 1 year (has it been that long) since I started this http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=223234

Its running again. I got it to 12 degrees then let it sit and idle until it warmed up. Once the thermostat opened up I adjusted the timing and carb to right at 10-11 degrees. The engine seems to like running there since it smoothed out.

I am only a few things away from getting my truck back on the road. I am waiting for a turn signal switch to come in and then I can install tilt column back in my truck. After that I have a new steering wheel, heater controls and later this year the fuel cell that I bought from fuelcellguy which btw is sitting shotgun in the truck HAHAH Turn signal switch is due in on monday so I know what I will be doing
