2. Ordered the Carter M3955 from RockAuto as you suggested
3. I'll put a sightglass filter right before the carb so we know she's pumping.
4. Noted. Hopefully with the new pump and sightglass filter I can verify fuel is flowing while cranking.
5. That was supposed to read "fill the carb," **** autocorrect.
6. I forgot to check the numbers, but it appears to be the original single barrel. I'm planning to install the Holley 2300/ 4412 as soon as I get the money.
7. I'm stoked that I found the forum for sure.
8. Thank you for the help!!
9. I agree completely, no need chasing the previous owner's issues.

And thank you for the correction on the model ID, I love the truck!! Still educating myself on them of course, LOL!!

That appears to be what the previous owner attempted to do as well, except mine still has issues despite the electric pump being in place. Hoping that a new manual pump and eventually a new carb will solve the issue.

Thanks again all, just waiting for the parts now before I can move on.
