Thanks for all the replies so far. As far as the condition of the engine, truck now has 92,000 on it. Engine is very quite and use no oil to speak of. No engine miss at all. Plugs and wires have been changed at some point and time but not recent. Oil is changed at 3000 miles by me can't really speak for previous owner. Carb is junk though. Cranks right up cold but once it gets warm you have to crank for a little while and floor the fuel pedal to get it to start. When the truck is warm and say you stop somewhere get out and then come back a few minutes later there is a strong smell of fuel. So I am sure the carb needs work and that's where my delima lies. Do I spend the money to fix the 1 barrel because the 2 barrel wouldn't be that much of an improvment or just say forget it all and spend the money on small blocking the truck. I like what pyper70 did there will have to do a little parts researching on that to see whats available. Thanks again
