Says the fuel distribution block is leaking. Maybe the IP or a fuel line? We`ll see.
OH Boy, another project. at least this one maybe sort of kind of will run.
For $500, can`t go too wrong.
Tomorrow I dig the car trailer out of the snow bank, check it over, and Friday
Morning heading over to get it.
On the way down Iam picking up a cord of Oak Firewood, then the 240.
If another guy answers me, Iam picking up 2 sets of new snow cables for the 86 F-250.
Guy wants $40 ea, and new they are over $100. The car and chains are in the same town, be cool to pick up both.

About 2 1/2 hrs to the wood, and another 45 min to the car.






Good:
Car ran good just did a valve adjustment and new battery has manual glow plug switch installed.
Electric sunroof work great (only electric accessorie)
Manual windows, manual locks, manual transmission all in good condition. Body panels are OK, all glass is good.

Bad:
Fuel distribution block is leaking and therefore has air in the lines and is really hard to start. Interior is getting brittle. Shift knob needs to be replaced.

Suspension is tired, and an alignment/tires are needed.
