Thanks for the warm welcome

Post by socal72 »

Thank you guys for the warm welcome. You are all a great bunch of people. Sorry it took me so long to post again but my bump was out of commision for a while and I was trying to figure out what was wrong. So I have a bone stock 360 with points and just added the petronix kit. I drove it to work and it died! Engine wouldnt idle and was running real rough. I had to tow it from cerritos to montclair($$$$ouch$$$) Well after talking to my pops(original owner) he said he doesnt remember ever changing the coil so it means that the coil was original from 72 and it needed replacing. I splurged a little and added the Flamethower and the old girl is running better than ever. Well its good to be out on the road again.

Glad to hear your truck is running again. Mine left me setting when I first got it. Turns out the p/o installed the alternator wrong. First time I took my wife for a ride in it she asked how I liked the truck. I said "I think I am going to really enjoy it". As soon as I said that it died and left us setting. :doh: She still likes to remind me of it once in a while.
