Okie Rebuild: I made a double thickness piece of cardboard with a small hole for the carb bolt and put on a fireplace glove... Choke pulled out about 1/2 way, truck was mostly warm. Placed the cardboard and the glove on left hand and revved the throttle linkage... truck slightly lowered RPMs but would not stall out at all. I tried it 5 times and all the same. Huge leak... if not just that hairline crack at ground zero in the intake right below the carb.
Do I even bother to try to set the timing now that I have a decent light? And compression? I bought a gauge, do I bother?
And have a chuckle... cuz I know you all will. I had a guy show up at work last night. I took care of him and he comes back to visit. He and I got along really well cuz he does lots of his own repair work on everything he owns... He has three old two door Broncos... a 69 and an early 80's I think and the other is just parts. I told him about trying to choke it out and the limited reaction then showed him the pix of the crack. He right away says "JB Weld it! I've used that stuff for all sorts of things and it works great. Just dremel out the edges of the crack and clean it really good with straight acetone." Whats mud say? )
