Ok all, I'm pretty sure I've found my problem. I went ahead and took the fuel system apart from the carb back to the tank. Dropped the fuel pump, all the fuel lines, and pulled the tank out of the truck.
I opened up the fuel pump and found some pretty nasty crud in there.
I blew out the long and short lines from the tank to the pump and a lot of dark brown crud blew out of both lines. That pump must have been working overtime to get that fuel to the engine. I'm surprised it even ran at all given the amount of crap that came of of those lines.
I pulled the fuel sending unit off of the tank and the screen looks good and the inside of the tank looks pretty clean, it's not perfect but I think it's ok.
I am going to replace both steel lines (long and shorty) and the rubber line that connects the tank line to the main pump line.
I was thinking about buying the pre-bent kit...the steel line kit is 45 dollars which seems very reasonable. The truck is stock so I'm hoping the pre-bent will fit fairly easily. Has anybody installed one of those pre-bent fuel like kits and if you did, was it a close fit?
