Truck had started running roughly over the last couple of weeks. Occassional backfires etc. Changed fuel filter and messed with timing which helped a bit but didn't cure the problem. I've had distributor issues in the past so I broke down and bought a 45d last week to replace my tired 25d.
My bud scott came by yesterday to show off his repaired rear cross member and pintle mount and pick up his Sankey which I had. So we toss the new dizzy in, beer time it, and hit the road to go move some windows from his house to his brothers place.
Truck runs good to scott's place across town. We get the windows loaded in the Sankey on scott's 88. I'm following in my truck and we head for Terry's place. After a couple of blocks scott pulls over to check the tie downs on everything. While doing that my truck dies and won't restart. Change fuel filter, check gap on the points, try re-timing by ear, spray lots of carb cleaner thru the carb, and can't get my 88 to restart. Looking into the carb while turning the truck over I can see actual drops of gas in the carb, not a steady stream. So I think my old Rochester is the culprit now.
End up towing my 88 to Terry's and I'm going to call the local carb guru place to see about the Rochester. I did a rebuild kit a couple of years ago so it got new gaskets and stuff but not truly a "rebuild."
scott loaned me his 88 and offered me the use of his LR3 but honestly I've driven old iron for so long, my 88 is a '64 and my new truck is a '77, I'm intimidated by trucks that are smarter than me.....
