My uncle said he worked on these years ago and I will see if he can help me as well. he is much better at this stuff than I am and he will understand what the parts a...

Hello, I am new to working on cars and trucks and I have only had this slick for a short time. It is a 65 f100 352 V8 with a 3 on the tree. Someone put a Holley 4bl carb and dual exhaust on it sometime ago. It seems to start good with the chock out and then when I put it in runs ok but once I start ...

Sounds good. Maybe we can meet up sometime this spring or all hit a local car show together. it would be cool to get a few trucks together. Just let me know when & where.

64LL, Yes I think that is the same truck. the seller was a great guy and even helped me get the title. I called him the same night it was listed and bought it the next day.

Are you in the Chicago area?

Ok, thanks for the help.

What abouth the tires being to old? They look way better than what's on the truck now andhe even said they were much newer. But he also said anything over 10 years is unsafe. I really think they look good and have alot of life. I do not see any cracks or dryspots.

Thanks

Well I think I am learning a Leson the hard way! So after i posted this thread, I seen an add on CL 4 tires & wheels for $300 and they were currentley on a 66 Ford f100. I thought they looked cool and since they came off the very similar truck that this was awesome. But, I went to put them on an...

Thanks for all the good info. I will take a look at the starter and start checking all the leads & cables o the other parts ASAP. Today I took it out for about a 20 mile ride (Round Trip) and it seemed to be fine. Then on the way home it started getting dark so I turned on my headlights & I ...

Thanks for the welcomes and advice, Everyone.

Thanks everyone. SO I went out in the cold and took a look again. I noticed that theier are two small wires attached to the coil 1 on each side of the large wire that goes to the distrubutor cap. Any way the red one was loose. I tightened it up and it seem to start better. I did not drive it yet to ...

Thanks, I don't have any heater hoses because someone pulled the heater. would that be part of it? Could I just buy a spacer and put it on between the carb and intake? I think i seen an aftermarket one at my local parts store?

Thanks
