I FINALLY got "'Tater" up and running,after a week of intermittent frustration! when I'd get frustrated with the timing issue,I worked on mounting the "courtesy light" door jamb buttons,(in the A.A.W. harness kit),and relocated them to a more useful position in my under-bed storage/tool boxes.If you can't accomplish one thing,find another project,right? )I reversed the light mounts,and made a swivel bracket,so I can shed light right where I need it)! Well,I tore the carburetor down,and found that the tab on the float was bent to the point that the bowl was flooded with fuel!! I have No idea how this could have happened,since i rebuilt it myself,about a year ago. It's been driven less than 500 miles since that time! I adjusted the float,lubed the choke cable,and VOILA!! one stomp,and purrr!!! I just tuned it "by ear",for now,(getting late,no garage),and took it for a "spin"! ,(I just had to see if I had those new halogen headlights adjusted right)the truck seems to have more get-up with the H.E.I. and alternator up-grade!! I got a bunch of "thumbs-up,and that REALLY made my day!! Now to check the fuel mileage! Thanks to all who posted your helpful suggestions!!
