"Houston, we have lift-off!"
Man-o-man, what a difference! I finally have POWER!! Climbing hills is not a problem any more!! Amazing what a new fuel pump and unrestricted fuel lines will do. I should have done this first thing when I got the truck. Only thing is, she had soooo many problems with her that it was, OK, which one do I attack first??
Anyway, I'm glad I won the battle!! Thanks to all of you who helped me conquer this problem.
Oh, one other detail I did this morning was to get Lucille and new throttle control spring. The old one didn't have enough strength to it especially since I installed those new leather seals on the throttle shaft of the carb.
Now it's time for some cruising!! Ha, ha!!
