Re: 1969 C/10 won't stay running

Thanks for the info. I kind of like the 250 because it is a pretty good motor with all the hills in my area. Drove a friends truck with a 250 before I got mine and liked how much torque it had. Plus my dad had one in his 69 GMC. I like the 350 but since it's a 2wd I would like to eventually put a 427 in it baked by a Muncie 4 speed. that's a long way down the road though. as for the possibility of a cracked head. I was told that before I bought it the guy put a new head on the motor. He also threw in a set of manifold and exhaust gaskets and a head gasket. So once the fuel problem is figured out I might just spend a day changing gaskets. I am also going to take off the kia muffler and see about getting a cheap thrush muffler to get me by. Also while I am thinking about it if I change my shift linkage for the 3 speed to put it on the floor of my truck will I have to cut a second hole later on when I change the 3 speed to a 4 speed? Again thanks for the help.
