What's up, I've been lurking for a while now and figured it was time to introduce myself and my new undertaking.
Behold my $400 running (not quite driving yet) 620.
I met a guy at a bar who later became a drinking buddy, long story short we all ventured to his place one night for a bonfire and this gem as sitting in the driveway.
I asked him about the truck and he said "$400 it's yours! It runs but hasn't in a couple years."
Me being the sadistic person I am said, "SOLD!" I've always wanted a Japanese pickup and this was on my top 5.
After a AAA call a flat bead and a sleepless night of frantically making a shopping list I started the process of killing the cancer and getting her going.
At first it was just firing on what I could dump in the carb. PERFECT! That means she runs (and man did it sound great!)
Downside that means pretty much everything from the brake master and the clutch master/slave needed to be replaced.
I saw where they had deleted the mechanical pump and swapped in an electric, took the electric out, cleaned it up and got it pumping again.
And she lives! Needs a little fine tuning but she fired right up!
