carb/fuel question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a '67 3/4 ton 4WD P/U CSTwith a 327 250hp, w/ a "squarejet" carb...I moved from high country in Colorado to Virginia...had to adjust the air/fuel mixture...seemed fine then started experiencing some hesitation and sputters out of the blue...

fuel pump was replaced last spring , and fuel filter is OK...rebuilt carb to some satisfaction, but sputters are still there sometimes as is cutoff...is it possible a rebuilt fuel pump would act this way before total failure??(12k miles)

timing and all other issues seem OK...this is an original truck/engine combo w/ only 70K miles on it...so any thought would be appreciated...ted
