THANK YOU everyone for your time and help! My truck has carb and headers and today while changing the oil I noticed that a hose that comes from the tank and to the bottom of the fuel pump is almost pinched in the middle. That hose is about 6 to 8 inches long and connects the metal line (from fuel tank) to the fuel pump. I just had those hoses replaced 2 days before my engine threw a rod. I have a brand new GM crate motor and I'm sure the shop that put in the motor used the same fuel pump and hoses cause I told him they were brand new. I thought fuel hoses were made of a special material that kept them from doing that? As for the charcoal canister not having it wouldn't make the truck run any different would it. The PO did some screwy stuff and I'm still trying to get things right. Thoughts...
