ok just a quick update. Finally the truck runs without stalling!!!!!!!!!!! Woo hoo!!!!!
I adjusted the fast idle cam down some because first my choke was not closing and opening freely. Then i took the primary fuel bowl off the carb and took the needle out and sprayed it with wd40 to loose it. Reset the float and checked to make sure it was not cracked. Then reinstalled and replace needle gaskets on top. Then i dropped the tank and had little gas it in. I replaced vac hose from metal line to air vent tube on tank. Noticed the filler hose was loose tightened it up. Resealed gas tank where lock ring is. Put in 5 gallons and the truck actually ran. I reconnect the brake booster vac line, turned idle up a little and turned mixture screws to 2 turns out and it idles high in park but once i put it in gear the truck idles good. I still think that the choke is not working properly although i'll deal with that later. Plus i need a few engine oil changes and i think it will run great. Thanks FTE Thank you everyone.
