Pete Helped me alot. soo i thought i would tell everyone about his kindness

Jonathan, I am glad to hear Pete helped you out and got you closer to running!!! FYI you really should catch a sale at C.Tire and get yourself a battery charger they always come in handy.....

OURWAGON, it is a mid 80's 305 with a stock Qjet on it.

We were so close to "lightin it up" Dist was "SEIZED" solid, had to use a BIG adjustable wrench & a "BFH" to loosen it. Hasn't been running in a LONG LONG time. Johnathan said it, " it was way better & not backfiring out the carb". We put "new S/plugs" & Wires in, as old ones were FOULED pretty bad!!! Killed his Batt. & my booster box. Last shot at it & it almost ran!!! Thought on the way home I didn't see how the transmission lines were [looped or not] so maybe it's better it didn't start, would have been messy if not looped!!!!!
