Thanks for all the suggestions! I’m pretty much a total newbie when it comes to carburetors. I did find some videos online about adjusting the carb. Basically they talked about hooking up a vacuum gage to the carb and adjusting it for maximum vacuum. It didn’t look to bad. I’m just paranoid about getting it too much out of whack and then not being able to get it back to at least where I was.

I had to do some googling about carbs to find out some of the things suggested.

I think the 1st thing is to try adjusting the carb. I also think adding a pressure regulator is a good idea and easy upgrade. As far as I know it’s a standard fuel pump installed.

I will check out the choke plate and other ideas.

It could be something with the distributor as suggested but I’m a little nervous about opening that up.

This is my sons 1972 C10 but we enjoy working on it together. We just got through changing out the inner grill, front bumper, and oil change. Next on his list is to install a new chrome rear bumper. It also needs new plugs and wires. New plugs and wires alone might make a difference.
