The past week, i have dealt with electrial issues at the dist. A flooded carb. And a dead battery (more than once). I now hear a ticking noise but i think that could be low oil.

*voice over*

Has his trouble come to an end?
Will a lifter fail?
Will Autozone ever give him the right parts?

Stay tuned for the next episode!

 

Haha, Oh let me tell ya' its never over. These older cars need attention, Yup more than your girlfriend or wife at times haha!! Generally, just about every part needs replaced, some more than once. I've installed new parts that didn't work LOL.
That's the best part of this hobby, really!
I hope you get er' all figured out and running nicely

My term for it is Perpetual Maintenance.

 

Stay out of the big box junk parts stores. Find a local one...Federated, United, NAPA, Carquest etc...you'll get better results though not 100% and not everything in the local stores will say CHINA in it.
