Lucifer was going in to have 2 stainless exhausts built and be m o teed on Saturday. Bring it in at 9 he says ok I say I'll drive it down.
So get up early go out to my truck fire it up then it starts missing then cuts out. At 10.30 I call the guy and tell him. Don't worry he says bring it in when its running. So 4.30 in the afternoon and a new set of points condenser dizzy cap and 2 coils later nothing just stinking of fuel. 7.30 at night and I give up. Went quad bike racing all day Sunday and worked on the truck all day Monday. Tuesday Morning I order a brand new electronic distributor. Tuesday afternoon (today) I finally diagnose the problem too much fuel pressure has forced the fuel past the valve seat and out the overflows back into the carb filling all 8 bores and the sump.
So I drain all the oil fill it with fresh and spin it over with no plugs in to empty the bores. So now I await a fuel pressure regulator and new distributor. Time is running out now its supposed to be on the modified 4x4 stand at Peterborough truckfest in 4 weeks, and I don't even have any exhausts yet.
