I have no idea what to do with that thing. The choke isnt hooked up and it already died on me at work in the parking lot because I didnt let it warm up, lol. Damn Carburator!!!!

I just got an 85 a couple weeks ago. It has a gm performance 350 crate motor in it, but the valve covers leak like crazy. I am gonna redo the whole truck when I get time.

congrats on the new buy... looks like its been taking care of alot...

funny thing is that I have always hated carburator as well, my 68 with a 454 bigblock turns on as soon as you turn the key! it surprises me how quick it turns on without struggling at all, my plans was to swap in an LS motor in first, but since its running good I'm going to work on the body first and leave the motor work for last...
