Well, my ole truck still runs like crap...Last night I put in a new condenser, cleaned the points, put in new plugs, and completely cleaned and reassembled the carb...and it doesn't run a single bit better. I noticed when I removed the carb that the floor of the intake manifold was wet with gasoline. I also noticed that when I restarted it with the breather off, it had a tendancy to back-fire. Also, when I removed the plugs, they were sooty and black. Could my timing be off? It runs like it has a vacuum leak...poor idle, and no pickup when accelerating. HELP. I've had this truck 45 years and this is the first time it has ever run bad. Jim
