1964 E-100 Pickup idle issues...
Hello!
I have a 1964 E-100 pickup with a 170 CID engine and a three speed 3.03 transmission. The carb is the factory Autolite 1100/1101. It has been rebuild and its clean. I cannot get the engine to idle at the factory spec of 500-550. The engine just dies. I can drive it until it needs to be shifted. Once shifted, it dies. Why? Is there a secret to these carbs?

@EricJ Nothing happens when I turn the Idle Mixture Screw, 1000 rpm's without dying and yes, I can manipulate the choke to keep it idling.
EDIT: I was going to suggest you stop by until I noticed you were in San Diego. Go to the club forums here and find a ford truck guy in San Diego and reach out to him/her and see if you can get him to meet with you and look at it for you.
