Well I worked some more on the Big Horn - finally got it started. The hacked ignition and the funky plumbing from the pump to the carb wasn't the issue - just sitting for far too long. Having said that, the bad news is the PO did damage to the motor running it out of oil - it has a loud rod knock. Now I am trying to decide to rebuild the motor now and put it back in, use the remanned short block and put that in and rebuild the original motor, or pull the 2.6 out of the 89 parts truck, drop that in, and rebuild the original. I want to start driving the truck now, but the options are many, and I also have many things to do around the house which will complicate the issue. What should I do?
