Okay problems solved and I feel like a total Dumb **s. Before I bought the truck, the previous owner added a new fuel switch for the cab. When he did this he accidentally put the hoses on backwards so when switched to AUX I was really running main and vice versa. But I didnt know about this so when I thought I was running on a full main tank, I was actually running a completely empty auxiliary tank. Thank God I found this out before dropping it off at the shop. Thanks for everyone trying to help.

Coils replaced, condensor is replaced. Shes in the shop now. I also noticed that when i gas it in idle, the jets squirt quite alot of fuel. it shot out of the carb (with the air filter off) and hit the firewall. I was thinking that maybe its flooding out. So maybe it just needs a carb/ jet adjustment
But what about this gas squirting out onto the fire wall???
What Was is all about??

2X Orich. Mega imortante'. Sounds like a Holley carb the PO rebuilt. In doing so he installed the accelerator pump nozzle body upside down

If this is a Holley look at the accelerator pump nozzle body. Open the choke flap. The accel body is in the middle of the carb's throat inbetween the front to barrels. front side of throat. Held down by a phillips screw. Out the side of this body pointing at the 2 barrels are the nozzles. Are they pointing a bit UP or a bit DOWN?
