Re: I bought a new truck yesterday
That's a good price on a new distributor. Looks like a nice piece. I'll buy one for my 283 I'm building. Thanks for the tip.
I'll look in a junk yard to find one for this engine. I'm not trying to sink any money in it.

Re: I bought a new truck yesterday
I've built a ton of 350s and larger engines. I've always wanted to build a small cubic inch engine. If I don't like it, it'll be a good in between mule motor.
Like this 250, I've never had one so how do I know I don't like it?

Re: I bought a new truck yesterday
I haven't really looked at it good. I might do some work on it tomorrow and I'll figure it out then. It'll take some serious cleaning..

Re: I bought a new truck yesterday
I fired it up Sunday. I just replaced the battery terminals, jumped it off my 78 and put some gas in it. It took a while to get gas to the carb but it still wouldn't run so I poured some in the carb and it took off. The carb is all jacked up so it wouldn't stay running. I guess I'm in the market for a good carb now. Maybe I'll do the 4 barrel swap, that is if I can find the parts at a cheap price. I think I might use this engine in one of my builds now..

Re: I bought a new truck yesterday
The valve cover looks orange but the block might be blue. It's hard to tell.
I rebuilt the monojet and now it runs ok. I'm going to put an HEI in it. It just don't run as smooth as I think it should.
