Billruston Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Put her on a compression test, the manifold is blowing terrible and the gaskits on the carb are gone, and is letting in airEvery we're, but she was backfiring and poping very abnormal, and was worried it was a burnt out valve etc, but she had very good compression, just need to sort the carb out and the manifold.

David Robertson Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Hi Bill, I thought the truck looked familiar, the give-away was the haulier.
