Sounds like my 235 when I first got it running. Everything on it was as it came ,except the new condenser and coil.
I got it cranked ,but it ran like you are describing. I pulled the carb apart and the bowl was filled with crud. Cleaned it good and the truck ran and idled. After a carb kit, tuneup and setting the timing with a light it ran even better . 👍👍.


I drive it just about every day now 😁😁

1962 C10 with a 235 6cyl -- all of the drive train seems to be original.
Some of this story is in the Side Lot
Some people like a new truck. I liked the old ones.
