hawkce541 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Hello all, I just purchased an '82 F250 to be my prepper/zombie truck. It's been well taken care of and heavily modified. I'm trying to figure out what all has been done to it. I have a receipt for a new cam and roller rockers, and I can see it has Edelbrock heads, intake, and carburetor. I'm fixing little problems as I find them. The title was a mess, which I finally got registered. It idles fine, but doesn't like going down the road very much. I just got my timing light yesterday, so that's the next step. The guy I bought it from said it needed a new carb (because the choke wouldn't work) and the transmission went out. So, I ran a power wire to the electric choke, put 5 qts of transmission fluid in it and drove it around the yard. Accidently left ruts in the yard when I thought the transmission was slipping. Nope! Tires were spinning. OOPS. Going to hear about that from the wife. The transmission IS leaking like a sieve, but it hooks up fine with fluid in it. Oh, it's got a C6 TCI transmission in it also, and the distributor has been upgraded to an HEI. That's all I can think of for now, Hawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Welcome, Hawk! Glad you joined. Sounds like a wild truck that has a lot of potential. Hope you'll start a thread on it in the main section. Where's home. We have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and can add you with a city/state or zip.

ArdWrknTrk Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Welcome to the nuthouse! Is it coming out the pump seal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkce541 Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 Welcome to the nuthouse! Is it coming out the pump seal? I have no idea where it's coming from right now. I know almost 0 about transmissions. I need to get some degreaser in there to get a better look, but it steadily drips until it's empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
