Hello all,

I just purchased an '82 F250 to be my prepper/zombie truck.  It's been well taken care of and heavily modified.  I'm trying to figure out what all has been done to it.  I have a receipt for a new cam and roller rockers, and I can see it has Edelbrock heads, intake, and carburetor.  I'm fixing little problems as I find them.  The title was a mess, which I finally got registered.  It idles fine, but doesn't like going down the road very much.  I just got my timing light yesterday, so that's the next step.  The guy I bought it from said it needed a new carb (because the choke wouldn't work) and the transmission went out.  So, I ran a power wire to the electric choke, put 5 qts of transmission fluid in it and drove it around the yard.  Accidently left ruts in the yard when I thought the transmission was slipping.  Nope!  Tires were spinning.  OOPS.  Going to hear about that from the wife.  The transmission IS leaking like a sieve, but it hooks up fine with fluid in it.  Oh, it's got a C6 TCI transmission in it also, and the distributor has been upgraded to an HEI.

That's all I can think of for now,
Hawk

Welcome, Hawk!  Glad you joined.  

Sounds like a wild truck that has a lot of potential.  Hope you'll start a thread on it in the main section.

Where's home.  We have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and can add you with a city/state or zip.

Welcome to the nuthouse!  

Is it coming out the pump seal?

I have no idea where it's coming from right now.  I know almost 0 about transmissions.  I need to get some degreaser in there to get a better look, but it steadily drips until it's empty.

I'm from Panama City, FL, but I've been stuck in Clarksville, TN since I got out of the Army in '99.
