Here's an update. I went to try one of my other carbs and hit a snag. I did not realize that the 216 carbs are different size than the 235 carbs. I took one off my spare 216 and the base holes are too narrow. My other carbs have been scavenged to where they were more work than repairing or replacing my carb. May try to borrow a known working carb from a buddy and see it that helps. Have not tested the individual plug wires. Will do that today. Adjusted the timing Saturday and did not notice the difference. I still believe that my fuel pump is ok, but I may try my spare. Since I have good response at full throttle, I think I am getting good fuel delivery. The only other thing I can think of might be the distributor. I have the one that ran in my previous engine. Will try that if the carb change doesn't work.

I have a new problem on a pickup I just traded for that is not stovebolt powered. I just traded my 92 Chevy 4x4 with 200K miles for a 99 Chevy crew cab, 4x4. The "new" truck runs out real well, but when I was almost home, the anti lock ABS brake light came on and has stayed on since then. This is the newest pickup that I have ever owned and I am not sure what to think about this. Several buddies have told me that they always come on. Some have told me that the sensors get dirt in them and trigger the light. Some have told me that their light always comes on when they engage the 4x4. Has anybody had any experience with this ABS stuff. Thanks!!
