Once again it's time for me to think about getting Hoopty out of the garage. Had the thought last year.. didn't happen. Same as the year before and before. But I'm doing it this year! I always get these crazy ideas that I'm going to do this or that and then start collecting parts to do it etc. Life keeps getting in the damn way and now years have passed and I've missed out on just cruizin'
SO I'm coming to terms with reality.. Get back to the roots of it and have a driver once again that my wife and I can hit a few cruise ins or whatever with
Last year I cranked it over and fuel begain to seep from a few places. I know the carb has gotten crusty and I've rebuilt it in the past but I'm thinking of just buying a new one and be done with it. I have a sandblasted Super Six 2 barrel intake and air cleaner tin sitting on the shelf ready to go... so if I'm going to buy a new carb, it may as well be a 2 barrel correct?! Question is.. which one? I'd like to keep things simple and not have to jump through a bunch of hoops to make it work. Plug and play is what I need or I may miss another year of enjoying some time with the old truck. I have a feeling JKR has my answer haha
Aside from the carb, I know it needs a new battery, fluids changed and a good run through the brakes again. I may even take it down the the exhaust shop and get the exhaust done up proper just to celebrate.
If anyone has an easy answer as to which carb to go with, I'd appreciate it. If it aint easy.. I'll just buy a replacement single barrel and be done with it.
Peace
