Have you thought about posting a thread in the Performance, Engines and Troubleshooting section?
Posting what you have and a more detailed account of what you've done and what the problems are could save you a bunch of needless part replacing. There are some pretty sharp folks there.

- Carb. Make sure it's clean and tuned properly.
- Timing. Make sure it's set right.
- Fuel filter. Make sure it's not clogged.
You could also put some Marvel Mystery Oil in the gas tank next time you fill up and it'll clean your valves and stuff.
My truck's sputtered at least a little bit at idle for as long as I can remember. :P

Maybe the cap and rotor. I tried to find a post with more information about what's going on with your truck, but I couldn't find it.

Yeah, I've been trying to get this damn thing to stop sucking the amount of fuel it does.
Somehow I burned through 10 gallons of gas in 2 days.
drove less than 20 miles.
it's killing me financially.

well, I am cheating on my 83 F350.
I got a 90 F350 today.
flat bed, brush guard, 7.3, 5 speed OD 4x4, lariat ex cab.
Has brakes like joshes truck used to, I will give it a brakes job and drive it.
Gets 3X the MPG of the 83, and even better than the V10.
KBB says it is worth $3,350, I got it for $1440!

You're just jealous of my super amazing braking powers haha.
I don't miss that rotor and those pads at all.
