Default Re: "Papa Smurf" - 1966 GMC 1500 Custom

Out with the Edelbroken, and in with the Rockchucker. I finally found time to get my carb replaced. Used the Carb Cheater spacer and swapped from electric choke to divorced choke. I primed it, turned the key, and my truck came to life and ran like it was parked yesterday. Shamefully, it was actually parked several months ago...

The carb was rebuilt by Sean Murphy Induction. Unfortunately, Sean closed down shop shortly after delivering my carb. He got it tuned perfectly, based on what I could tell. I didn't have to adjust anything. Not even the idle speed. It was all dialed in.

I also replaced my water pump today, because my old one started leaking from a weep hole. Probably one of the only jobs I've done on this truck that didn't come with any surprises. Just a simple water pump.

Last thing I need to take care of is replacing the proportioning valve to fix an intermittent RF wheel lockup, then finish installing my Carb Cheater.
