!!!MAN!!! This seems like a very ambitious project to jump right in and drive thousands of miles.

I believe all Holley carbs of this nature have a LIST number stamped in the carb somewhere. You should be able to buy a kit, but frankly after reading the seller's description, I'd find another carb.

Also, his description of the fuel is troubleing. He talks as if he knows nothing of the past history of this truck? Why not? Is he a flipper? I'd be wanting to drain that tank, PERIOD. If it doesn't smell TOO bad, and you can get what's there in cans, you can always add a couple gallons to a nearly full tank of fresh and get rid of it eventually.

Maybe the seller has use for it as cleaning solvent, whatever.

You can get some idea of timing chain condition simply by moving the crank ccw/ cw and watching for movement of the distribuotr rotor.

I wish you a lot of luck on this one. You could not pay me enough money to try this escapade.
