1962 straight 6 running issues - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys, I'm not only new to old trucks, I'm also new to turning a wrench. My 62 Straight 6 was running fine until I installed a new stereo, carpet and seat. I can't believe I messed anything up but it now it barely runs at all. It starts on full choke but runs very rough. It won't run at all when I push the choke in unless I stay on the gas. When I get rolling is won't go over five mph and continues to stall.

(was told to check the fuel filter element on the fuel line going into the carb but mine doesn't have one. I also have a newer fuel tank and hardware with a new in-line fuel filter)

Need Help Please... Any suggestions would be appreciated.
