Hey all just wanted to stop in and say hey. I just purchased a 67 C10 Fleetside from a good friend of mine and I will be slowly restoring it. The truck has some cancer, well, quite a bit actually. Newer engine and tranny. It has been converted to a 5 lug disc brake and automatic transmission. The engine is entirely Edelbrock 350.
I'm supposing the carb needs adjusted because it runs strong in idle but when I drop it into R or D it dies, am I correct on this? Like I said, I'm a rookie and just looking for some help. Thanks guys.

In park it should idle about 600 to 750 rpm. When in D or R it should idle down to no less than 550 rpm. Adjust the curb idle screw (by the thottle cable)to attain desired rpm.
68 chop top 327 5 speed Stereo and AC. A real hot rod has a clutch. Anyone can modify it BUT it takes a real man to chop one up. See my truck in Reader's Ride and vote on it!
