That'd be a 160HP motor and I THINK 460TQ stock.

What trans? Body? Miles?

The previous owner let this truck sit in his yard for two years unattended. Said he tried to start it last year but couldn't; I can't start it either (lots of bleeding, cranking).
Can't go look at the truck right now but it has less than 200k I think.

Make sure the shut down solenoid is pulling up all the way...

Thanks for the tip. The fuel solenoid linkage got froze up with rust from sitting outside for such a long time. Freed it up and the truck starts.

I have a couple of other things I need to fix before I can actually drive the truck. I posted a question in the 2nd generation forum about an electrical problem.
