Re: '72 Cheyenne K10

I decided to swap the Edelbrock 1406 carb from my C20 onto this truck today. The Quadrajet on it (sitting over a decade) did not run well and was hard to start because the choke wasn't working right. I figured at least it would eliminate the carburetor as a problem. It starts easily and idles decent with the Edelbrock. I need to set the timing again and hook up the vacuum advance to see if it still has the backfire issue.

It felt good to wrench today and make progress. Sometimes it seems like I throw money and parts at this project and it still sits in the driveway and doesn't move. Today cost nothing and my truck runs better.
