Newcomer looking for help
At the age of 59 I decided to own only one more vechicle. One without computers, etc. Luckily, I found a 1967 GMC pick up in exceptions shape. Myself and friends have been having a lot of fun working on the truck but have encountered a couple of problems which some of you may be able to help. solve.
The engine is a 305 V-6. It has a Stromburg model ww, probably a 2099, two barrel carberator. We were able to get a rebuild kit but have been unable to find a float. We have rebuilt the float but I would like to find a new one. Does anyone have any ideas? Also, previous owners have run substitute wires around what appears to be a dead short to the brake lights. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the 67 GMC pick up? Buck ![]() |

welcome Buck
![]() ![]() I checked on acouple of engine sites and I don't see a 305 listed as early as 67 and I thought the strombergs went out with the flatheads. Not to say there's anything wrong with that if you have that setup. You may indeed have trouble finding a float but I am sure some of the old flathead guys probably have some carbs laying around in good shape. Have you checked on the parts board for one? Try posting on the 47 to 55 message board and see if anybody has one. Vettevet.
