If your truck breaks down,please don't ask me to help-you'll get JINXED!! Since my fuel /vacuum issue,when installing the HEI,to the crankcase pressure issue last month,I thought...all is well...NO!! Now it starts immediately,but will only run smoothly,at full choke-even after a 15-minute warm-up!I have Fenton's and run one heat tube to the intake. Should i run the second? i installed the heat tube,since the muffler shop didn't think the truck would need any! Engine warms up to 12:00 position,on stock gauge.

I think it goes back to a deep seated vacuum issue,so I'll find that valve in the atmosperic line.

I just can't believe I didn't blow a seal. There isn't a drop under the truck,since having it towed. Had it running at idle,a couple of times for a 1/2 hour or so. I can't drive it...After 3rd gear,and a little throttle,it acts like it's starving for gas. I backed it up,and parked it. I
'll keep you posted on my lack of progress!
