    You use a vacuum gauge to set the idle mixture on the carburetor. not sure how much vacuum our trucks have?

    On a fresh 2.6L (stock rebuild) in one of my old trucks, it had 23" of Vacuum at an idle. On a older engine with some miles, maybe 19 - 20" of vacuum. A higher mileage engine, 15" or so.
