New guy, carb problem
Hey there guys
Just bought my first project about a month ago and have been working on it every chance I get. It's 1970 c10 stepside with the L6 250 and manual transmission. I have so many questions for you folks. First off, how do the gears work? I noticed that its not the same as the standard transmission truck I drive today. What gear is what? And rverse And another important question, more like I'm asking a favor, is if anybody has a picture of the throttle/ choke linkage of they can send it my way. I just rebuilt the carb but lost the linkage. I think it's called the fast idle linkage/rod. I want to try to make another one. Or better yet if anybody knows where I can buy one that would be awesome. Thanks guys! Glad and proud to be here Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: New guy, carb problem
Welcome Airsepulveda!!
I have a 1969 C10 longbed with the 250 L6 and manual tranny my 1st project as well. Gears are as follows: 1st - Pull toward you and down 2nd - push away and up 3rd - push away and down Reverse is Pull toward and up. Found a youtube video for ya too: I have a autochoke so I can't help ya on that one.

Re: New guy, carb problem
Hey man thanks for the welcome!
I watch the video because I had no idea what you were talking about. Mines totally different. The gears are on the floor of the truck. Not sure if it was originally like the one in the video and converted but I have a shifter on the floor of my truck Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: New guy, carb problem
Wow that helps alot
That one looks more like mine. I just rebuilt the carb and it turns on on the first crank no problems. I just dont wanna move it that much cus the brakes don't really work that great. I don't have that linkage either ![]() But thanks man that really cleared it up Posted via Mobile Device |
