ok so just to fill you in on what has gone on with this truck to date... new gas tank new fule lines new carter pump new fuel filter, new distributar new coil new plugs new wires, new points, new cap, new rotor new carb.. ( off a 74 ford courier the courier was running fine when teh carb was removed)
so.. here is the problem.. im an idiot when it comes to carburation.. give me a 1000 wires and i can figure ti out.. give me 8 wires and a carb and im fucked..LOL.. the truck idles nice.. starts well but... when i step on the gas.. it hesitates, backfires, and crackles , sounds like bubbles beeing popped..... so i screwed around with the timming ( minor adjustments) and the richness of the richness of the fuel.... just last night.. when i stepped on the gas the truck wanted to die.. ( alot like my ranger wanted to when the fuel pump died).. the engine wanted something but wasnt getting it.. now i would hate to think that the new carter pum is a pile of shit.. but i did put an inline pump in the ranger also .. and it took a crap on my about a week later.. soooo.. maybe carter is crap.. i do have the original chatter pump.. before i pull the bed and crawl around the truck.. is there anythng else i could be missing??????
truck is lating door.. a complete pain in teh ass to work on..LOL..
thanks for you help.. steve
