Already registered over there... agreed. And yes, it is a 223 for sure.

Thanks I guess...

Yes, and that is about the only spot I have rust. The rest is solid.

Just got a 1960 MOTORS manual from pops. Go tthe truck running/starting reliably, rockers adjusted, timing adjusted to 4 initial, and I am getting about 8-9 degrees advance from the vac set-up.

I still have NO power though. It falls flat on it's face with even the slightest load. I am suspecting the carb but not sure.... suggestions?
