    My J10 is finally HOME! (lots of pics!)

    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)

    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


    Close up the repair

                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 remember this well. Bryan, glad you finally got her home. Enjoy it. Nice rig even though there is something missing above the windshield.
                      He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. Faithful and true to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

                              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.
