Re: 1969 C/10 won't stay running
Based on the color of the smoke, my money is on unburnt fuel, not oil, exiting your exhaust. Water makes white smoke, oil makes blue smoke, and fuel makes gray/black smoke. That would explain why the truck runs when cold and not when hot. When cold, the excess fuel is acting like a choke, and the engine can deal with that. When it gets hot, and the excess fuel is still acting like a choke, the motor dies.
Maybe a stuck needle valve is causing float bowl to flood. Maybe a leaking accelerator pump. Just something to consider.
