Go for it!!!

I changed the carb on my pickup today, BB Chevy. I used 18 gallons of gas to go 130 miles on the last tank of fuel, and it would idle down the road at 50 mph, time for a change. It had a Holley, I installed an Edelbrock, so, new throttle cable bracket, fuel line, air cleaner stud, ECT, ECT. When I got it on, it wouldn't get any fuel, checked it out, it was a slightly used carb, there was about a teaspoon of sand in each float chamber, apparently they didn't use a filter. I cleaned it out, set the floats, and put it back together. Started then, but wouldn't idle unless the choke was closed all the way.  ?? I found I had left the 1/4" pipe plug out of the back of the carb, that'll do it!!! Fixed that, and now it runs fine.

I think I changed my mind about wanting you to leave the truck here with me for me to keep it exercised for you!
   
Just about the same milage as my old crew cab dually!

Hopefully it will be better now.
