Push rod promlem
So I got my new to me 69 running only to find out why it probably got parked 18 yrs ago.Couldn't find one in my inventory so I guess I'll order one,unless someone has one laying around?

You may want to run some Sea Foam or ATF through the engine oil once you get it back up and running. It may help un-stick the lifters.

I did that.The thing purrs like a kitten except for the lack of one cylinder.The lifter is still in the bore,so hopefully I'll get lucky.
Anyone know the length of a 69 302 push rod?

You could always pull another one out to measure.

Two bent push rods later,cleaned out fuel system,rebuilt carb and it runs like a champ.Not bad for sitting for 18 years.Supposedly only 56k on the truck.

Were you able to run the fuel tank and carb I gave you?

I ended up rebuilding the carb it had on it,just because of the manual choke.If you need it back it's here.If not I'll pass it on to the next guy.Thanks for the parts though Mike,it's much appreciated.
