Quick update on the truck...

Adjusted the timing back to 5deg. Cleaned and set points to .020 according to shop manual.

Hauled everything to and from the show this weekend. Truck ran a bit better but is still lacking power.

Once I start reaching an incline and put my foot into it, the first 1/3 or so of pedal travel makes a difference. After that if I stomp it to the boards there is no RPM change, no power change, doesn't seem to fire much harder.

Any ideas? I'm going to change my fuel filter again. Is there secondaries in these WW carburetors? If so maybe they aren't kicking in? Maybe the vacuum piston in the carb isn't working?
