It's been a long time since I posted on my 77, but recent events have caused me to have to replace the carburetor! It is an edelbrock 1406 and was on sale for like 300 bucks. Replacing took all of 30 minutes. I didn't even have to get a fresh beer!
Also I decided to address all my fuel system problems. When the 454 swap was done on this truck, the way it sat in the cradles left no room for the bigger 454 mechanical fuel pump, so a 350 pump was swapped on. This pump can't keep up, so my truck has an electric booster that runs basically all the time. I can switch it off at times but I rarely did. So I finally pulled off the 350 pump completely and covered the opening. Also I changed all of my filters and all the rubber hoses I thought needed replacing. Also I put in a pressure regulator just to see if that helps.
Also this year I fixed my interior issues (like no dash panel or lights) and got a newer seat. My old seat had a huge hole where you sit, and I couldn't take it anymore.
