OK
So to finalize this I bought an interstate group 24 battery.
Trickle charged it to full and installed it.
It works perfectly! Kinda close to hood, so i need to make a hold down sooner than later.
Side note, 400sbc w/quadrajet. Truck not started in 5 years.
I was thinking I lost the touch and tore down carb for a third time!
The tiny holes for the idle circuit were not accepting air.
I sprayed cleaner and probed a super small wire through all the idle circuit. Put carb back on and it fired up and purred like a kitten.
I let it run an hour and oil pressure, temp and charging were good!
Put it in gear and rocked it until the brakes let loose and was off.
But no brakes
Time for a new thread and some research into that.
But for now I am very happy.
Thanks!
