YEEEE HAWWWW!!

My uncle trailered my J10 to me Friday evening.
For those that are unaware of the story of woe of this project, here it is:
I drove my new J10 for 50 miles (long post) (http://www.ifsja.org/forums/vb/showthread.php?t=79766)

Here I am, backing it off the trailer:

Note the pole barn in the background.
I dunno what it was built for, but it's 32' x 24' and ultra tall!

Here it is parked, next to my '93 GMC Van

After reading your previous post and all you went through I can only imagine the relief you're feeling at having it home finally. Congrats.

Yes, it was repaired with parts from a '79 Cherokee Golden Eagle.
Sadly, the hood is the worst part and I will need replace it when I go to get it painted.
The first project is to get to run smooth as it does run sorta rougher than I had remembered.
It's outta time and needs a tune up bad
I may even rebuild the 2150 carb if I do not replace it with a 4BBL.

I did not see this before...but looks as if it's marking its spot.
(I think maybe that spot was already there...so maybe I need to check to see if has any fluids at all!)

Need to get it to run right.
I'll begin with a basic tuneup, plugs, wires, cap, rotor...
...or maybe a HEI setup.
Then rebuild the 2150 or replace it with a 4BBL carb

I've been avoiding it...but looks like I need to break down and purchase a good timing light.

I remember when that happened and it was quite the buzz kill.

I had 8-10 brow jokes race through my head, but cant decide on one, so I'll let it slide this time, LMAO. I think the others beat you enough...

Glad to see it coming along for you.:thumbsup:
