I don't know if I'm supposed to ask about vans here but, y'all are so darned knowledgeable that I thought I'd take the chance.

In what order should I check things?

1969 Chevy Van. 250 engine, I think.

It has a new fuel pump, new starter and a clean working carb.

It starts as in fires up but it does not continue to run.

What should I begin checking? Compression? Pull the plugs and see if they're toast? Why would it start but not continue to run? Clogged fuel filter? Lines?

I need to formulate a basic run down and for some reason today my brain is on the non functioning side of the spectrum.

Thanks in advance.


Us girls like them ol trucks too!
