OK, I'm dumb, need help

Kern Dog sounds like he feels on a slant like i do, i had a 73 dodge pickup, 3 on the tree, if it got below 10 degrees in winter you may have well walked to work, i live at about 3000 ft elevation, and when i get out of the driveway its 1 .5 mile off what we call the ridge, i would roll it off the carport, put it in 2nd gear and be running about 70 mph , pop the clutch and it would blow smoke for 1/2 mile and finally start, didn't use any oil, and compression was good, but turned me away from the 225s for life
