    Spark, Fuel, Crank but won't start

    Gentleman I have a confession. The fella we brought in to look at the truck at first thought it was timing same as us. But after closer inspection noticed an issue with the spark plug wires and choking system on the carburetor. What he thinks happened is that when it originally died on me the...

    Also compression test was inconclusive, lowest reading was 120, we’re back to thinking timing. My dads got a mechanic buddy who specializes in Chevrolet and apparently was very excited to hear about the opportunity to play with an almost factory 76, so fingers crossed he can nail down the issue...

    I don’t mind. I’m actually quite proud of the truck, my great grandfather and grandpa bought the same model and color trucks on separate trips to the dealership back in 76, my pawpaw said his was $7100. @Rusty Nail I wouldn’t mind some tips on the sprucing up the paint as I’m not quite ready to...

    Here she is, I’ve spent the day messing. A neighbor had a known good distributer so I’ve replaced all the components people have suggested. I also poured a bit of good fuel down the carburetor still with no luck. I appreciate everyone’s suggestions so far.

    How would I check that? I’ve seen people use timing lights but I thought it had to be running to check that way?

    Spark, Fuel, Crank but won't start

    Hello everyone forgive me if this is in the wrong place. Me and my pawpaw recently pulled his dads 76 K10 out of storage after almost 10 years. Threw a new tank, sending unit, fuel filter on and fired up like it had never stopped. After a couple trips around town after warming up the truck would...
