FYI: My truck didn't come with the factory original but one from O'Riley's that is a '78 carb. Which was done by the previous owner of my truck.

The idea was to get a numbers matching Rochester Quadrajet 7042208 and when it took 3 to get one that seem right (long story on that), I decided it have it professionally worked on.

Needless to say, epic fail on my part. Live and learn. Perhaps my pain will help someone else make a better informed decisions. If that happens, I'd would actually feel a lot better about this whole thing.
