    After a summer filled with electrical gremlins and adding oil almost as often as gas I am looking at my options to either replace the engine again or, in a worst case, selling this beast. Time to figure out how much I overpaid Uncle Sam last year and what my next step will be.

      Sorry to hear your problems,
      I feel your Pain, I've only had one project that I bought that didn't turn into a Money Pit. And it was one that I had no real plans on owning!!

        Finally found the electrical gremlins. Ended up swapping out the original HEI distributor for an MSD Street Fire. Runs better than it has in several years. Still need to address the oil consumption issue and figure out where the trans fluid is going since it hadn't ran since December and was down almost a gallon with no visible spot under it. Now to driver it some for the next 6 weeks or so before it goes back into storage for the winter.

                  This truck is just like an old girlfriend I had many many years ago , if it wasn’t one thing it was another. Good riddance
