Luckily I had a pair of straight down dumps. The new problem with those was the alternator mount was cast into them causing interference with the head mounted alt bracket. A cutting wheel solved that issue!

The 350 is now in and running with working clutch. Test drive was great but has left me stranded twice now with what appears to be a fuel issue.

This truck has an additional tank mounted under the bed and some type of electric switching valve that I will need to diagnose. I have already rebuilt the carb and saw no problems and verified that the fuel pump,had good strong out put so I believe the valve or lines are suspect.

Yesterday I bought new fuel pump, points, condenser, cap, rotor, coil, plugs, fuel filters, fuel line, and a carrier bearing to put on her when I return from traveling. I hope to eliminate whatever issue that is causing the engine to die. It acts like it is running out of fuel then dies. It will crank over with no sign of trying to fire. Both times after letting it sit 15 minutes she fires up,and I have made it home. Also, it doesn't like 2/3 or higher throttle openings as it starts to misfire. This engine is one I bought from a guy that pulled it out of his running truck 3 days before I bought it. He did say it was running perfectly before he pulled it.

I love these kinds of projects and will eventually figure it all out. Thanks for reading and your advice.
