Got new spark plugs installed tonight in preps for a rebuilt carburetor (not yanking the old carb until the hose pinch set arrives)... Next trip to the garage will check spark plug wire continuity & install a new dist cap & rotor... Not being able to work on the truck except for a small block of time at night in clandestine mode + my slow motion is making this dry docking a six month project..! But, it will be worth the expense, time & effort IF the little truck runs even average afterwards... Now, I more fully appreciate having all the knowledge 'n parts 'n tools or a new rebuilt part on hand before tearing into something like a carburetor... Good thing we can survive without wheels if need be...
So, I been researching "Timing Lights" for a way to check the timing on this truck; some lights innova have a tachometer built in... Some lights use D size batteries not the vehicle battery to power themselves (good for jobs like a boat or other vehicle with difficult access to the battery...)
So, I guess a timing light will help check the timing..? Which light do you fellahs recommend..?
The old spark plugs fouled pretty bad huh..? No start..!
