My name is Adam from North Carolina.  I bought a 79 C10 about 2months ago and love it but have exactly 0 mechanical experience so need all the help I can get.  I have learned a lot from the forum already so thanks!

welcome from maryland. one good thing adam is that you know you mechanical limits. i have a uncle i gave him a running 318 for his dodge and turns around and thinks he knows what hes doing and starts taking it apart well a couple years latter sitting as a short block he scrapped it, cause he didnt know his limits.
