I need help diagnosing a problem - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SOmeone suggested the alternator & it did check out bad on the tester so i bought a new one. That wasn't the problem. I bought all the tune up parts & was about to try that when I had an idea. I removed that POS, cheapy($20) kragen fuel pressure regulator & hooked straight to the carb & it works fine now.

So my initial evaluation of starving for fuel was right. I think it's time to go with an electric fuel pump & a good regulator.
