Re: 1969 C/10 won't stay running

got a fuel line today but have to exchange it for 5/16 line tomorrow since i got 1/4" today also when you put seafoam in your gas and then spill it on your face when taking off the fuel line, it burns. yes I did reverse the linkage for the choke but it has been working better than before I reversed it. hasn't stuck once on me. I also replaced the condenser and ignition coil because my local backyard mechanic has told me that the truck could have been dying when it got to running temp from either of those going bad. I recently rebuilt the carb and triple checked to make sure that everything worked in it before it was put back on but I've been told that single barrel carbs are finicky anyway. is previously stated I spent a good chunk of the morning with a hack saw and a hammer getting the 1" kia muffler unwelded from the 2" exhaust pipe. I'm going to save up and get the pipe to finish running it back so it doesn't end under the cab of the truck. also apparently I got a hell of a deal on the truck since there is barely any rust in the cab (one small spot above the windshield) and the frame and undercarriage look like someone has done a lot of work to them. the entire bed needs replaced though which is why I am going to put an older fisher utility bed on it and make it a work/show truck. I am also going to get a new sending unit for the tank next time I get paid as the truck sat for about 2 years before I bought it. the only things that should need replaced now are the emergency brake, the starter since its still the original one on there and I fear it will go soon, and the battery. oh and the fuel line that I am getting tomorrow. also an advance auto is opening in my area tomorrow and I am so excited because now there will be deals from both autozone and advance auto since they are right down the street from each other
