Picked up a '78 F2504x4 extended cab from a buddy that needed cash. This truck has been sitting for years. I put a new H.E.I. dist on it, fresh 2bbl, flushed out the fuel tank, changed the oil and squirted lubricant in all of the spark plug holes, as well as dumping oil through both valve covers.
I can only get it to start by jumping the new solenoid. (it runs smooth)
My next step is to replace the ignition switch, unless I have forgotten something. (hence the "I'm rusty" comment)
I cannot get it to stay running, so my next step there, is to make sure it is getting an adequate fuel supply.
Any tips on the ignition problem?
Thank you in advance.
