Re: Truck wouldn’t start on angled driveway?
if you can smell fuel in the area of the truck after it is shut off then it could be that the fuel is evaporating from boiling in the carb bowl. a heat shield and phenolic spacer under the carb may help that. some fords back in the day had an aluminum heat shield, slightly larger than the footprint of the carb, under the carb and some thick fibrous base gaskets. I think it was to get engine heat to go up around the carb so as to heat the carb less that way plus the fibrous gasket allowed less transfer of heat than the direct mounting with a normal gasket.
