I did this same thing this past weekend. I also put on a new HEI distributor. The truck runs better than it has since i bought it april first and i would dare say, it probably runs better than it has ever run since driven off the assembly line.

I will not know for a week or more how the fuel economy has changed if it has indeed changed. tomorrow will be the first full tank (pay day) since the carb change. I have the carb tuned for economy, since i drive like an old man anyhow.

Thank you for the recommendation of the 1406, with all the options out there i am sure i would have come up with a solution but i am all for the 1406 because of the lack of any sort of emissions control functions. I told the parts store it was for my boat, they had issue selling it to me when i told them it was for my truck.
