Last night I was driving home and i was going down a hill and went to press on my brakes and the pedal went down pretty far. It took a lot of my foot being in that peddle to get it down. The brakes did work so to speak but my foot had to be all the way in it. I got it home and checked the master...

What is a good way to test a vacuum advance? I have heard of people saying take a screw and unplug the vacuum hose then put the screw to block it, if the truck runs the same then there is a problem....I dunno so I thought i'd ask you guys
Hey guys so i am digging into my truck as it won't run right at all anymore. I was checking vacuum lines on it as I suspected a leak, and there is some big leaks on the lines themselves, but worse the carb is leaking around where it is mounted on the manifold....So I checked the bolts to see...

So I am replacing my rear tank on the truck, bunch of gunk built up in it and rust shavings I am assuming, whenever I use it, it sucks up crap into the filter/carb.No shop around here will clean it, and the couple that will charge an arm and a leg.So anyhow, the sending unit is great and...

Hello all, haven't been on in a LONG time, been really busy finding work/school all the other lovelies. But anyhow, my truck has turned into super everyday driver, so restore plans have kinda dropped on hold for awhile. But my back tank is pretty much not usable it will be fine till about a 1/4...
