thanks for all your advice.

the carburator has been rebuilt numerous times. last time i looked for a rebuild kit i had a hard time finding one that worked right, i did find a MV/M one that seemed to work...the carburator seems to be warped, so some edges dont sit exactly flush. the kits gaskets arent thick enough to fill in the gaps. i looked up the serial numbers i could find and the carburator or at least part of it is from a 64 pontiac...i dont know if that means anything or not.

i use the truck mainly to haul stuff, but i do like taking it for drives on the weekend. so i dont mind spending the money to buy a brand new carburator, so unless anyone can suggest something better i guess ill buy another rochester M.

thanks for the help.
