Hey guys I was wondering what are some signs that a the carb needs to be rebuilt. Mine has never been rebuilt and it is the stocker from 76. My engine has little to no pickup it is really rough if I start it in the morning after it sits all night. Are these signs? I know my motor has never been rebuilt and it is starting to get tired. Then if it does need rebuilt is it that hard to do? I do most of the work on my truck but I'm teaching myself as I go. Where would be a good place to get a rebuild kit? Oh my truck is a 350 with a 4 bbl carb.
Thanks,
Zack

From what i understand, it would take around 2 hours, more if you've never done it, less if you or someone around you has. But you also have to add to that the adjustment time. IE getting air-feul mixture right, and I'm guessing with a 4 barrel playing with when the big barrels open up.

So is this a possible reason I'm having so much power loss and no pickup?
