When I bought my truck just recently, the owner said he thinks the carb needs to be rebuilt, the accelerator pump is dead, and if you romp on the gas, it'll stall. Once I knew more about what was going on (replacing the entire fuel system basically), I figured it probably wasn't just the accel pump, but I figured it needed to be replaced anyways, and the carb is pretty old. It's an Edelbrock 1406. Got a kit on eBay from a place called Carb Junkies, good quality kit, came with new floats and an accel pump with a steel rod that supposedly won't be affected by modern gas. Only $43. I've heard these are an easy rebuild, and it really was. Turned this:
