    460 engine, gasoline, I have the Fleetwood number of 733CP713691. It's 33 ft long but I'm still not quite exactly sure which model it is. I could use help figuring out which antifreeze recovery tank to purchase due to the crack in it.

    I have two mechanics going to look at it, yet again today. Fuel pump works, I'm putting in a new computer today. Replacing the rotor in the distributor cap, it turns over but it's not catching.

    Mostly I'm interested in someone being available to help if there's some highly specific Fleetwood question we have. 

     

    My phone number is 508 280-7888. If anyone would feel like being at the other end of the phone today if I need help, I would appreciate it greatly. I've been trying to get this to run in for a year-and-a-half  with over 30 attempts


    Any help or advice would be appreciated. Email freerenew@gmail.com


    It would most likely be around noon Eastern Time


    Again thanks in advance for any help any members of this community may render

    Sounds like you have the Ford tase engine, why not just take it to the Ford dealer and let them fix it?

    My guess is it has the automatic choke which means when the engine is cold you are required to step on the gas pedal all the way before it's started and then let off of it. This will reset the choke. It will also give you the correct amount of gas in the carburetor. Without giving it any gas, turn the key. It should start. Try it.
