thx Cris... I will give that stuff a look
randomly it will start on its own, sometimes it needs a hit of starter fluid
other times there is no response. I drove it the other day for about 30 mins and it stalled out and we couldnt get it started again, with a very weak crank. So I went home and got my car hauler trailer, went back to get the truck (about an hr later) and had my son just try and it started right up like it should. Drove it home, turned it off, tried starting again and nothing... thinking possibly the fuel pump???

Its an unknown yr 350, I dont know the brand of dist or carb.
the previous owner did know it was a 350
