Re: Project Ol Red-1978 Chevy C10 1/2 ton

As of friday night the 6 cyl lives.turned over fine and started up good.something is wrong with the carb however as a few seconds after it fired up it started running basically at WOT so we killed the motor waited a few seconds and fired it off again.same thing so we killed it again and then took air cleaner off and looked down carb.didn't see anything obvious obstructing fuel flow or anything binding/sticking in the throttle linkage so next week were going to pull the carb off and take it apart and see whats wrong if anything with the carb.the last time we pulled it apart and cleaned it up everything in the carb looked good,clean and free of most obstructions so were thinkin maybe some dirt from the fuel lines/tanks may have gotten into the carb.we shall see but for now the mighty 6 lives and now its onward with the V-8 swap.
