Well, the guy we bought it from threw a old warn out, untuned 2 barrel Rochester on it and trying to keep it idling was difficult and required a bit of pedal jockeying, to my dads dismay. So, as I let off the clutch (slowly), I had to let out of the gas and just as I let out of the clutch, I had to hit the gas again to keep it from stalling. So, by letting off the clutch and punching the gas, the truck took off, sending me towards the fence separating our yards. Naturally, I tried to use the clutch to stop, to no avail. Luckily the drum brakes slowed me down to a stop or I would have ended up in our neighbors jecuzzi.
