Re: New member from Colorado Springs
I had a chance to clean the truck this weekend. It had plenty of grease and mouse droppings. It has the 305 engine. I'm not sure about the transmission. The engine does have a slight ticking noise (probably valve adjustment needed) but appears to be strong and runs pretty well. It stalls and based recommendations from this club, I'll install a Holley 500cfm. I have cars that do not have power steering and it doesn't seem to be a problem. I can barely steer this truck. I'm not sure if that's normal, considering the hunk of iron sitting on top of 20 year old tires - but I will probably do with power steering.
Thanks for replying Ed. Here are a few additional pictures.
