[sweetk30]

i have the 500cfm man choke std edelbrock waiting for my 366 in the GMC 7000 dump . i did get a spacer and also a pertronix upgraded ignition mod for the dist to give me a rev limiter i can set . and few old timers i talk to and stories here all say go to around 3800 rpm limit . 1 guy said the old fire tanker he drove if he just had 200 more rpm he would of been golden . . .

DING DING DING....geezer#99 gets the prize. Had an electric pump on the shelf, cobbled it in and BINGO....after sitting for twelve hours, it started....something it hasn’t done for a long time. Now I’ll wait a week and see if that happens again. THANKS for the thought geezer.

Bigdually, sweetk30..... I was thinking Edelbrock too... 1405 manual choke. Good to know the farmers use them.

Jumpsoffrock....looking at a GMC manual...some of these things came with a 2G on the Big Blocks.

1976gmc20....if I find a class, I WILL take it.

The seller told me it was a 366 but the glovebox tag says 427...but I guess that doesn’t really matter.

Thanks for all the positive input.
