I know these age old "gas or fire" problems will frustrate some of you, but I suppose there's never a solid answer to any one situation.....So, my truck has a 1954 235 engine for which most basic electrical components - wire, coil, plugs, points, condenser, dist cap - were replaced last December. engine runs great at idle, but misses terribly on acceleration. I've put a new kit in the carburetor; float appears fine, but the wrong carb pump was sent, so that I did not replace that. Nevertheless, it's seemingly fully functional based on fuel being squirted when activated. timing advance is functional. So, all this started right after I put on the new electrical components, and rebuilding the simple rochester carb did not help. Is this a gas or fire problem? Again, missing on acceleration, either on the road or sitting in the driveway. I can drive about 30 mph here in town, but anything beyond that is out of the question. jdj
