Re: the start of the ice cream truck

ok so its been a year for this thread. lots have changed in that time.

change 1. injection pump was leaking got new was bad (f@#k) got the next one works fine. also lost a starter got a new that was bad got the second one all good.

change 2. had to move over the winter so truck was not done and got pushed to back burner. big mistake. finely got back to her. now have a knock up in the head. have bleed and bleed changed injectors still there now time to dig in to the heads and see if there is a broke spring or rocker arm. in the time it was siting the clutch got stuck and the brake master is now junk.

change 3. have been on my 86 c20 trying to get that ready for winter so will have a few things to do there first before i get back hard on the k30. will post about the c20 in another thread tonight. will be under mvhillbilly
