Hey guys new to the forum, found this luv out in the country. Has been sitting in the same spot since 1990. Took it home changed oil, fixed radiator and filled her up with fluids. And she cranks. Was running really rough, so rebuilt the 32/36 on her and redid the entire ignition system. Still looking to go electronic ignition btw if anyone knows of a good option that’s on the cheaper side. Anyways brakes were rusted all the way around including the master for that and for the clutch. That’s all fixed and now she runs and drives. I still have a hard spot only while cranking. Seems like it’s preigniting on one cylinder and the starter fights to get past the compression of that. I don’t know. It’s only while cranking though. Once started runs like a well oiled sewing machine. Anyways excited to be here and get all the great info you all have to share. Thanks
