well we got it running today mostly her i just pointed at thigs and said what to do. she changed the plugs cap rotor condensor and wires. then i jumped a wire from the battery to the coil and starter solidnoid while she sprayed the carb with brake clean and it started right up like it was brand new

That's one hell of a find... the trucks pretty good too

 

[kris97ranger]

i think so haha. i gotta get her to do the oil change tommorow after we go paintballing then its onto finding the leak in the brake line and what it needs for the brakes themselves

 

[kris97ranger]

well we actually got it running on gas today outta the tank and everything. she did the oil change and we drove it about a foot forward and back ward cause thats all the room in the car shelter haha

just a couple pics of her doin the oil change

oh and i orderd a new key and cylinder from lmc truck too. so we dont have to hot wire it anymore

and it running the first 1 is when it just started the 2nd is with the choke out and 3rd is at idle once it was all good (oh and the horns loud haha)




oh and i got the tailpipes done on my f 150 finally

Nice slick you got there and a merc too.
you might try the guys over at the slick 60's forum, there's quite a few of those mercury trucks there.
