Re: IML: It was the carb!!!!!!

[kmoore12@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Ooopps. It appears I forgot to mention what the replacement carb was. It was a holley 4-barrel with vacuum secondaries is all I can tell you. I have no idea what model it is but I do know it came off of a '69 chevy truck with the smallest V8 ( smaller than a 305 ) they made.
