Hello fellows-I have a problem with my 6 cyl.auto 80 GMC. When Driving and pulling to a stop sign I have this intermittant rough idle while in gear. Sometimes when I stop she runs great and then sometimes it's shake rattle and roll. Also sometimes when turning around on a slope the truck will stall. I installed new plug wires, plugs distributer cap, rotor, air filter. Should I be looking at carburator, vacuum lines or other?

Sounds like carb float issues to me, as far as stalling going around corners

Thanks Russell, I kinda thought that would be it.
By the way what's the weather like where you're at. I live in Pgh, Pa. and we've had some decent 40-60 degree weather the last two weeks. we've had some rain though. |

as for the rough ride, it sounds like either you have a spring bushing out of whack somewhere, a bad shock, or [maybe] a loose or pulsating brake caliper.

Dear magnethead, The idle is rough sometimes. Actually the truck rides smooth --as good as some heavier cars. Thanks for trying to help me, I appreciate it.
