Thank you for the welcome! And also so much for the advice. I am excited to start the journey with my truck. I am ordering the rebuild kit today as my carb is also leaking a small amount of fuel from the front side upon further inspection. I might just replace the fuel pump while I have the carb off. any specific information that might be helpful? My engine has a plastic timing cover.
Also I have driven her around the block a few times and it does seem as though it is acting starved for fuel after giving her a bit off steep throttle. After climbing a steep hill it coughs a bit, this problems seems to go away if I keep it in low gear. It has the 3 speed automatic 2wd. That being said keeping it in low gear seems to lessen the dying out. When it does die out sometimes she wont start back up easily. With or without the electric fuel pump running. I apologize for throwing a lot of information at you at one time but I want to properly diag. and repair. Thank you again for your help!
