Thanks for the tip. I certainly don't own any stock in Seafoam... so off to get some PRI-G. You know, I don't INTEND for it set long stretches... but it happens. I'm probably not alone.

I want to follow back up with the resolution of this problem in case it ever helps anyone down the road. On the advice of posters here I did pull spark plugs for clues. What I found were plugs that appeared to be in good shape without soot - which stood to reason since the problem appeared...

@pb4ugo , yes, it is an aftermarket HEI all-in-one. Toyota Landcruiser DUI Distributor @Engineer8000 , don't laugh, about things growing - yesterday I convinced myself I had a crack in the intake manifold that was growing to a gaping chasm at times... but I couldn't find it with the starting...

This kind of where I'm at and why I was about to pull the carb off - I just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking something simple first. The come/go nature of the problem screams of something loose and floating somewhere in the fuel system or a massive vac leak I can't find (that comes and...

I'll pull the plugs, look at them, and check the vac advance for leaks - I do know the hose is secured well to the carb. I should have mentioned, I have an HEI (DUI) distributor. I did have and issue when I first bought the truck with the ignition module. In that instance the truck would not...

Good evening mud. The 2F in my 1978 40 (desmogged) has developed a nasty habit out of the blue. The truck has run fine in the past, I completed a major re-fit of the truck in 2022 and since then drive with less frequency (shoot for a drive a month but sometimes don't accomplish that - so it...

Texags offsite meetup. lol. -Cp90

I see you also belong to the stexag club of civil disobedience with regard to vehicle licensing. Sticking it to the man. ;) I was rocking a '19 until a few months ago while the 40 was under the knife. On topic - if you think of it - post up some pics of the AC unit and under the hood. I'd...

CP90 here. Just found saw this thread. Look forward to updates.

I got my top out the other day and had dreams of putting a headliner in. I studied it a while and decided to wave off and just do my best at re-attaching it where it was sagging and loose. So I used a bunch of Super 77 and got most of it stuck. I think it's already starting to let go again -...

You did that headliner install Bloomer? When can I drop mine off??

Thank you very much. I haven't measured but I'd guess it's currently closer to 3/4" right now. I will probably leave it alone. I don't think I'll haul much more up there than a swag tent in it's bag and another soft bag or two with clothes/bulk. However, I made the decking out of some teak...

If you don't mind sharing... about how much clearance do you recommend between your roof rack and top? I assembled my Gamiviti clamps last night and was trial fitting it all while the top is still sitting on the shop floor. Before I did final tightening I wanted to inquire what sort of...

That looks awesome, makes waiting tough, but @lcwizard has me on the list! Love your shop; I tinker with mostly 2 bangers in mine... but I had a 460LP for a while that I got from a neighbor. I farmed his place after he quit, but for years he kept the headlands clean with that 460.

Thank you. Replied to pm.
