I posted previously that the engine in my 66 C10 was partially disassembled when I got the truck. The Rochester B was on the manifold but the accelerator linkage was disconnected. I found a spring loose in a box of spare parts… anyway, I can see something is not right with the throttle lever. There is nothing for the idle adjustment screw to push against to adjust the idle. I don’t really know how I got it to start and idle before. It won’t now. See pictures. And thanks for your help.

I think I see the problem. It just hit me. Maybe some of you can see my mistake too. Thanks for all responses!

Thanks! That’s what I discovered after studying some pictures and drawings on the internet. I got out there this morning and corrected it. 😎. Thanks for the link!
