Unhappy won't idle,.... was running great

1946 2ton heavy duty....

bought it 2 months ago out of north dakota. rebuilt carb, new gas, electric fuel pump, new plugs, installed pressure regulator set at 2.5 psi....

ran GREAT!!!! for 1 1/2 hour parade,,, 1st gear, low range, idle was PERFECT pace!!!! sweet....

on the way home she started giving me problems....

now it will only run at half to full throttle...

-starts easy with 6v battery
-seems to run rough
-sometimes loses vacum for 2-speed, but runs same way in low range
-exhaust manifold temp same across header on both sides ~260F
- water return pipes both show about the same temp ~160F

thanks in advance!
