the manual choke was rigged to work. No idea if high speed idle cam works. don't know how to check it.

The original engine blew and my uncle did some horse trading and a friend of his put this 250 in from a '71 nova. No idea what the deal is with the manifolds. Pissed my dad off so my dad gave me the truck. I have spent the last few months fixing and replacing all of the "shade tree engineering" as I go through the truck. Eventually Id love to replace the manifolds with dual header and Offy or Clifford intake and carb. For now I just want to get it to run better. I can take apart a motorcycle carb in my sleep but just learning about auto carbs. Suppose its a good one to start on.
I do have to tap the throttle to get it to start and once it starts I leave choke on for a little while until it warms up. I have seen plenty of carbs for sale online but I prefer to get this more tuned since it isn't broken.
