running ruff
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 06-Feb-02 AT 09:36 PM (EST)]The next (cheapest) thing that I would check, is the screw-in fuel filter attached to the carb. On these old trucks, rust can clog them pretty quickly.
EDIT: OK, I noticed you have a 79 (with a catalytic converter). If this was clogging up, it would cause the symptoms you describe.

running ruff
to the left of the carb on the intake manifold of my 1979 F150 (351M)there is a plate the bolts to the intake that goes to the EGR valve and also the choke line coil through the plate as well. Mine a rottet out, and the motor runs very ruff. So here I am, I know what the problem is, I took the old part and the part store dident know what is is and dident bilieve me whene I told there where is goes on the truck, I went to a ford dealership and they told me that the part is out of production and I have to find a aftermarked part. I called every part store in the phone book and knowbody had any idea what I was talking about considering that I dont know what the part is. But I do have a part number (DSAZ9C869A) If anyone could help me I would be very gratfull.
