Back to the fuel... the fact that you have to continually feather the gas pedal very likely means that you'll be rebuilding the carb before you go much further. The feathering is squirting fuel from the accelerator pump into the engine, supplying the engine with fuel even though the other fuel circuits are not doing their job. -Mac |

I love working on cars and learning and that is NOT sarcasm. I replaced the starter and it cranks well and does not turn over without starting fluid. The prior post hit the nail on the head. There is not consistent fuel getting in. I assume I need to rebuild the carb. A couple questions: 1) where would I get a kit for this? 2) If I were to replace the carb and for performance factors (increase in), what is recommended and where should I purchase? Thank you for all the help so far. |

You'll be hard pressed to find a new carb for that application. Once in a while NOS carbs will pop up on Ebay but even a NOS (New Old Stock) carburetor should be kitted because of the age of the gaskets and rubber parts. Dan has specific preferences for kits so I'll let him explain that but they are availalble from most any full line parts store. I would avoid Auto Zone and Schucks. Napa is usually good quality stock and when I lived in Beaverton I used to go to Baxters. I bleleve there are some good carb shops in the PDX area too; some of the local guys could steer you to a reputable place. Whatever you do, avoid parts stoer "remanufactored" carbs; they are generally junk and cause more problems than they solve. That's generally true of pretty much all reman stuff unless you know the reputation of the builder to be otherwise. |

I'm pretty sure I have a brand-new (not rebuilt, not remanufactured) carb for that '75. Send me a PM. |

I want to thank everyone for the input and especially Dan for the unbelievable carb, pamphlet and all. My truck is awesome. There seems to be an exhaust leak as I hear a fwap, fwap sound like in one of my other vehicles. Can I ask for more assistance, such as how and where to locate the exact area? Thanks again |
