    77 longbed
    so about 3 months ago i bought a red 1977 5speed 2wd longbed pickup...i love it...it runs like a champ...stock...OE hubcaps And beautie rings...OE mudflap...straight as god body...nice paint(AZ baby)...blah blah blah...anywho i think that my o-rings might need to be replaced...along with other seals. sometimes on hot days it will take a few cranks to many to start and blow a little smoke and the idle fumbles around utill the oil in the camber burns out...i think.i put engine restore in my oil when i changed it...put in new gearoil, other than ajusting my carb and inspecting things i have had to do little other than put gas in it...to which i add "marvel mystery oil" just cus.
    some times when its cold it takes longer to crank over but it seems like it takes longer for the oil to get in there...if i have started it with in an hour or so and its hot it starts quick and idles fine right away...

    also when i shut the truck off it shakes the whole truck ...sometimes ...dieseling?
    thanks for an imput...how hard are those webers to find? im gona put a new exaust in soon and crown vic steelies W/ beautie rings...but i want a little more power...would i not pass EM if i put a weber on ...this might be to many Qs for one forum...im really pleased with this truck...
