Only took a new battery, solenoid, fuel filter, fuel tubing, 2 bottles of Royal Purple, and a whole lotta carb cleaner. Idle sounds high, but baby steps here 👍🏼
Hey everyone, I’m Tony and this is TheShattonArcade! I’ve been on Twitch and YouTube for a few months now and slowly getting a bit more confident in front of the camera! I usually play scary games from PS2/3-360 era, but have lately been on some new titles that are just straight fun to play! I’m always looking to connect and listen to any tips or advice that would make my channel even more fun for you guys! Check me out on YouTube or Twitch @TheShattonArcade 🫱🏽🫲🏻🕺🏻💃🏻
Complete newbie here but so far, I’ve replaced the solenoid, got a new battery and it cranks and turns over when I sprinkle some gas into the carburetor. Did a fuel line test and got no fuel coming out, so I’m assuming it’s a fuel pump or filter issue. Issue is I do not know where or what the difference in what to look for to differentiate them. I took a photo of both sides and saw what LOOKS like a possible filter. Any advice?
Take into consideration, I am brand new to a lot of this and learning from trying something, fucking up, trying things I learned in the internet, then doing it again 👍🏼 anyways, that little black housing unit that is mounted onto the wall; I bought a new battery (exact one is used to have) and when I plugged it in, that little housing unit popped and started smoking heavily immediately. Can anyone please fill me in on 1.) what that contraption is, 2.) what possibly happened, and 3.) what does it burning mean for further restoration?
**Update: my dumbass got excited and flipped the terminals.
Remove if not allowed, but I am starting the process of my first truck restoration since 1.) I have a primary work vehicle and use my wife’s car for any personal use, 2.) I want to learn more about trucks and vehicles so I figured I’d get my hands dirty and learn by application, and 3.) I’d rather spend money on an owned restored truck with character than a car note. The issue is that my dad had it sent to a distant family member who regularly does engine and transmission swaps and upon arrival, this is what I got in the engine bay. I think it’s a 302 Windsor? But other than that, I do not know what I have or what is missing. Looks like something in the passenger side corner even melted. Note that the battery is currently charging and I have not had it turn over yet, but apparently it did several months ago when the motor was initially swapped. Feel free to ask questions or give any info or advice!
