Thread: Project Special K

Spent most of today working on the truck. I quickly found the wiring issue was indeed a bad neutral start switch. The wiring at this point is pretty basic and straight foward so I figured it was that or the grounds. I was stymied by the amount of time it took to install the distributer. hand cranking the engine to get to top dead center, and then placing the distributor which doesn't drop all the way due to the oil drive shaft is frustrating to say the least. But eventually it dropped in right and is roughly in the right place. After that it took a fair amount of time just assembling the Taylor wires! So with some regret we left off there for tonight, and tomorrow will involve a trip to the gas station for fresh gas in the new tank, fluids to tranny and radiator, and hopefully no leaks. Getting close.
