Getting my 1949 Ford F1 Running Again

This is my Ford truck that I bought while I was in High School. I rebuilt the engine and got it running and drove it to my first few years of college. But then life gets busy, and it has now been sitting for 20 years. It is time to do something with it. Step 1: get it running again

    i think i would have probably tested the plugs while connected to the distributor. as it is uncommon for a sparkplug to go bad and much more common to have a bad plug wire, distributor cap or rotor. would be nice to know what was causing the problem...

    The spark issue seemed to fix itself (for now, at least). Maybe the cobwebs just needed to be dusted off 🤣

    Thanks! The flathead V8 always gets the attention, but it was the inline 6 that was the true workhorse of that day.

    Thanks! I'm getting my water pump and fuel pump rebuild right now. Hopefully I'll post some more on this truck in the near future.

    I still remember driving this to college with your motorcycle in the back.
