Any update on the car? Has your problem been resolved?

@Bad1974maverick jerry my mechanic friend came over and he said I need a vacuum hose replaced and where the pickup coil plugs in he said to cut the plug off because the black wire came out and splice in a new plug and it will be good. He also said to replace a donut gasket on the engine and once we get that done he will come back over and set the timing. BUT it runs just need a few things.

yeah, that's a problem area for mavericks. The plugs rot and or crack and let moisture in. Corrosion begins and they fail. I replaced my entire plug when I replaced my distributor.

yeah working on making it my daily driver. it is my first car at the age of 19. I have new radiator, new gas tank, starter solenoid, voltage regulator, coil, ignition control module, fuel pump, fuel filter, brake shoes, wheel cylinders, hardware kit. still need to get a starter, gas cap, rad cap, fluids, trans cooler lines, carb, and that is pretty much where we are right now. it is slow but it has been fun working on it. I got a nice guy gathering parts like a carb, gas cap, window cranks, maybe carpet, door panels and some other stuff. he is just making me pay shipping. so hopefully in the next 5-10 years it will be completely together. right now though I am going to drive it and leave the floor pans the way they are. hopefully with the new carb and starter it will fire up on its own.

@JosephBrand These cars are easy to get back started and going. You should have little problem.
