Are you sure your linkage to the carburetor is not the problem?

Panic, you are correct. Upon closer examination, the secondary does start to open at half-throttle. I'm just not 'feeling' the full effect of the second barrel until closer to full-throttle. The carb itself seems to be working correctly.

I can't complain; the truck runs great down the interstate...and that's with the boom in the bed, plus a parts engine. There's just a couple of hills between me and St. Louis, where it's a challenge to keep up with traffic...which of course is running faster than the speed limit anyway!

Thanks!
