Title: Hello, from in the bay area California.
Post by: Nomar85 on July 28, 2015, 09:31:47 pm

Hey guys! Just picked up a new to me 74 K25 pickup on Saturday for $650 from a tow yard. It has a 350 in it that a P.O. started to disassemble, as the distributor, valve covers and air cleaner were missing. So I'm thinking there is something wrong with it. Some wiring was cut on the firewall above the motor. So I had absolutely no power in the cab. After sourcing that problem out and fixing it. The motor turned over. Today I bought a brand new HEI distributor, spark plugs, wires, valve covers and gaskets. The brakes worked surprisingly well when backing her off the trailer. The front hubs lock and unlock nicely. The transfercase shifts smoothly as does the column shifter. It has newer Ford alloy wheels. The inside of the cab is pretty unmolested and the only cancer it has is on the rear fenderwells. I'll be posting back with any progress I make. Thanks guys.
