Hi,
I recently became the owner of a 1987 Ram 50 Sport. Its a little rough around the edges, but in good shape overall. Good body, engine needs a little TLC but I think I can manage. Anyway, I live in Vegas which means virtually no rust on this beauty. I think this one is for keeps, been going trhu a rough patch with trucks lately (long story). I will try and post some pictures today, of the truck and the horrible spark plugs that came with it
Basically I got a good deal for the truck, I traded a small car that I did not need for it. It was running rough yesterday when the guy brought it over, I am never one to back down from a challenge, so I decided why not, let's trade. Value of the car was about equal so we went "even trade".
Today, after work I decided to stop by the auto part store, some things have to be bought there. So i picked up a set of NGK's for it. Gap them, and went to work.
There was so much oxidation on the plugs it was running with that I do not know how that engine managed to keep going. Anyway, swapped them out, and it runs a little better. Tomorrow I will start on vac hoses and all the electrical I can manage.
I saw some pictures earlier of two barrel carbs, mine has a small carb, I mean is a two barrel but it looks small, I never had one of these trucks. More pictures coming tomorrow. My question is this, how hard is to do a carburator kit? I have done some GM carbs in the past, and a couple of Holleys, just dont want to get in too deep here.
Anyway, this is me, Pedro, in Las Vegas, I will do my best to attach photos, what few I have, and more to come later on.
