The carb is on and it runs great - half of it anyway. All butterflies open fully at WOT but the secondaries aren't coming in. I'm hoping a tweak of the spring is all that will be needed for the back air doors to open correctly, but at least I can walk around it now without my eyes watering.

I don't have any history on the carb so I don't know what might have been done or why but it's already better than that leaky bucket I had on it. Idle is smoother than it's been since I've owned the truck and acceleration is smooth with no off-idle flat spots, but it does pick up an intermittent stutter at around 1800 that sounds spark related. The plugs have been swimming in fuel for a very long time so that will be next on the list.

I really appreciate the info and help from you and everyone else on this board. It's been years since I did any work on these old motors and some of what I remember is still a little fuzzy. Thanks again.
