WHAT!
I don't know about that... it's that same carb that was on the truck when I got it. What's the difference of a Chevy & Ford carb? Don't they do the same thing?
What should I get then?

I was just jerking your chain a little, don't be alarmed... the Carter will work fine, good reliable carb. Ford's typically carried Autocraft or Holley carbs, Chevy's typically had Carter's. All will meter the air to gas ratio correctly and the truck will run fine.

Hey thanks for taking all the pics. Damn, you got idiot lights, that makes it a little harder. What I need is a pic of the back of the ignition switch with the wires and everything to show you where to tap off of. We're looking for switched power that is on only in the run position. Or, what about converting the choke back to manual and using the choke control?

Looks like we posted at the same time... Sorry.
I thught about making it manual again... but I don't want to mess with it and regret it later.
Can I use a cable that's in in the same hole as the choke cable.
See pick:

OK, if you could get some pics that would help.
Yeah, you could use that cable. Check to see it's not frozen.
If you get a pic of the ignition switch, all I need to see is the bottom part that you could see by sticking your head under the dash.
