hey guys, the motor is screwed up in my 87. its a 5.0 ho, we last used it the beginning of last summer (not the one just past). so i decided tonight id try to fire her up, and after a while sure enough she would run but it was like to rev up a carbd vehicle on a cold day, you just had to touch the pedal, and she wouldnt idle for no longer than 10 or 15 seconds. and she dont sound to healthy.
what do you guys suggest? I have another engine done to go in her but im just curious about this one. i might build it up as a side project.
thanks

no thats the reason it was parked. but its not the fuel system its something mechanical. she makes a knocking sound and i think its out on a cylinder or 2.
thanks
