It reads as if your rebuilder didn’t do something. The vacuum moves the transmission through the gears during normal driving. Put the truck into low range without locking the front hubs in and drive it. The engine should wind out and slam into second and then do the same with third. That shift...

Fuel filter and taking the carburetor apart enough to make sure the float needle and seat are clean probably should be done. What about the ignition points? If it has been a good number of years since you even looked at the points they could be carboned up and causing the issue. However...

The Zone just opened for me. So, it seems to be back up. Hopefully it stays that way.

You have to put not safe for work or young eye warnings before you post pictures like that. Some things a person just can’t unsee. 44 feet of altitude change. Thats funny. Glad the truck did so good.

It was running the last few months on a back up patch. I haven’t bothered Jon about it but I am sure it will be back operating soon. If I hear different I will post it here.
