Need serious help
I recently started refurbishing my 79 F150.I have installed many new parts since the truck has been sitting since 2001.Included in these parts are a new 2150 carb,plugs,wires ,distributor,Inline fuel filter, and fuel tank(rear)sending unit. The truck has been running good until yesterday. Drove truck around town, stopped and put some gas in it and drove it home. Left the truck in the driveway for about an hour and now it wont run. The only way it will run at all is with the throttle pedal to the floor with heavy fuel smelling exhaust smoke.
Any technical help or advice would be appreciated.
Thank You

X2 on maybe you got some bad gas? Was it running bad before the gas stop? How low was it on gas, maybe you sucked up some sediment from the bottom of the tank? Yes the pick up tube and fuel filters should catch the dirt, but not any water?
