I replaced the gasket with the other gasket to revel the other hole and the squeal is gone. The carb still hesitates a little and of course leaks like every rochester b I have ever seen.

I might replace the rochester with my newly rebuilt YF that I got on line for 10 bucks and see if that works any better.

The truck has more power but still stumbles a little at high rpms. It also seems to miss a little at low idle (my 216 did that too)
