Stalls once it warmed up - 305

Thanks Geezer, I think at this point I wont trust it until it's been rebuilt.

Thanks for reminding me of that link...I have the rebuild for performance book by cliff. I am currently getting myself familiar with the rebuild process. I'm on the fence about doing it myself or paying a company to rebuild it as the cost will be pretty close.

Your help has been much appreciated and I'll keep you posted

Well I think I'm going to tackle the rebuild myself but I'm going to use a NAPA kit made by blue streak. I know the cliffs kits have to be better but it will be close the 3 times the price compared to a NAPA kit that will be 50 bucks including a new float and I can have it in 2 days. I just want to get this up and running and I'm hoping this kit will do that. Calling the shops around me the price 225 - 375 for a rebuild!

Be carefull with some of those youtube clips.
A few show how to hang the needle clip on the float wrong.

From what I have been seeing it doesn't go through the hole

Well I picked up the carb kit last week but I'm not going to jump into this until some time next week as I'm hosting a big family party and need to move the truck out of the garage for an extra party spot.

While inspecting what I need to remove I noticed this fine dandy that the previous owner rigged up.



Looks like the kickdown cable broke so the guy attached some extra cable to attach to the linkage....Oh well one step closer to replacing every item in this truck
