I just bought a new vehicle
Pics will follow. I could not pass on the deal. It is an '89 Jimmy with a Western Plow on it. I bought it for about half of what the plow should cost. So far we have changed the brake lines, plugs, wires, distributor and battery. We got it running. Here is the delima...fresh fuel was coming out of the gasket where the header is connected to the exhaust. I have spark in all cylinders. Our only thought was while we were trying to get it started we just dumped so much fuel it leaked. So, once it burned off there would not be an issue with a fire. Any other ideas??
My boys were able to help with this one. Yesterday they each got a can of Rust Oleum to cover the rust
. That is one of the memories we will have for a long time.

I drained the fuel (1-2 years old). Now I think just change the in line fuel filter. Hopefully it will be up and running tomorrow. We are supposed to have 1-3 inchs tomorrow night. I havn't had any other issues with gas in the header. I am hoping it was all the fuel we put into the system while trying to start it.
