I'm able to get what I think is a strong stream of gas down the carb while looking down it. I'm not sure if I got the float level and drop set correctly. I'll take the carb off again and do more cleaning and check the float again. I'll get it running again and check to see if the vacuum advance is working. As far as history with the truck, it was my brother-in-laws truck and I'm sure he had it running as he would show up occasionally at my house with it. I'm not sure what he was doing with it, but he got sick and it sat for some time in his barn. He passed, so I bought the truck from my sister and it sat in my garage for about 7 years. Last year I finally got started working on it. I replaced the gas tank, cleaned the gas lines and replaced the fuel pump. I replaced the distributer cap, points and rotor. I have never pulled the distributer, not sure about my brother-in law, but I have checked firing order. I changed to an alternator and did all that goes along with that. Before I rebuilt the carb, I would get it started, it would still run rough, but I'd get quite a bit of gas running down the side of the carb, and have some running out between where it sits on the intake. That's why I tried my hand at rebuilding the carb. I'm thinking I might not have set the float correctly so I'll do a little more cleaning and check the float. I'm going to check the vacuum advance and look a little harder for vacuum leaks. Thanks for the list to think about. My problem right now is it's getting close to the Thanksgiving holiday, my family will be here, and my wife doesn't drive so I'll be driving Miss Daisy to the store on more than one occasion and have less time to spend on the truck, Small price to pay for all of the good eats tho. I'll keep things posted as I get a chance to do them. Thanks so much again.
