So today:
Float levels set, fuel pressure at 3.5 psi, Timing set, idle mixture screw 1 1/2 turns out.
It idles nice but won't take any fuel and falls flat when I give it the onions. (Vice grip garage lingo, sorry)
I can ad a 20 second video but it won't upload. At least from my phone.

1946 Chevy 1/2 ton "patina" pickup with a 1953 235 engine, otherwise all stock and unmolested!
