Pull the line off the carb, put it in a quart jar, unplug power to distributor, crank it over. It should fill the jar in under 30 seconds.
Will do.

On a fully charged battery with AC, radio, lights turned off you should be able to run the truck for a few miles at highway speed. I've done that on mine. I have a one wire alternator I bought at NAPA for my tractor and it's worked great for many years.

Other things to check all the ground straps -especially from engine to cab. On my 68 my gauge wouldn't work until I installed several ground straps including one from radiator support to the battery ground.
Don't have one.
