Well partial success. Got it to turn on with starting fluid, msd blaster coil and with gas pedal mashed to the floor.  It stayed running at a very low rpm for like 5 minutes.   I was able to restart it several times on its own without the starting fluid the same way. I couldn't let off the pedal at all. Gonna have to play with the idle and timing using my trusty assistant, Yolanda.

Awesome  ...  if it isn't backfiring through the carb try to advance the timing a bit

Well, buy another truck of course.   

Seriously, swap out mufflers since these tractor mufflers are kinda getting soft, an alignment, swap rear axle for 9-1/4 with LS and 3.55 gear, and get state inspection.

Then move on to the 76 RC.
