I have taken the carb to someone that I was recommended to. It will either be rebuilt or replaced by this mechanic. This man had a reputation for being a "carb wizard" in his city of residence.
Because the carb is out, I am getting ready to install the 71-72 gas pedal assembly since this truck has no pedal.
I also need to fix an issue with my intake manifold. It has a broken carb-mount stud that is literally welded in. My replacement intake manifold had all four studs but does not have an anti-oil splash shield under it, so looks like I must find or fabricate one of those. If I had a template I could take it to the metal shop.
I am restoring a Tach/Vac cluster from a used one that I bought.
I also found a rust-free dent-free passenger side front fender that I had sent to me from the same seller in Massachusetts who also sold me the aforementioned TachVac cluster.
