Re: 72afr's '72 Short Step

The truck is back on the ground! Got everything plumbed in last night and tried firing it up. Got fuel from the tank, through the new "hidden" in-line filter and to the pump. The truck will run with the gas in the carb, but not get anything from the pump as the needle appears to be sticking. I'd previously ordered a rebuilt kit from Cliff Ruggles as I was anticipating a carb rebuild. Carb is out, just needs to be gone through. A little bit of while smoke at initial startup, but quickly diminished. All in all, a successful 3 days!
