Where would I start to search for these parts at?

I replaced my instrument cluster regulator, I read somewhere that might help. My temperature gauge has dropped a lot and goes up when I turn the headlights on a bit. It has been doing that for a long time now. Every time I turn on the headlight the temp gauge goes up. My speedo doesn't work...

I just order what ever comes up from the Auto parts store. Sorry I haven't responded it has been a busy last 3 weeks with the grandkids, had some fun with them for sure. I order what ever comes up in their system for the motor mounts and transmission mounts. The engine mounts always see too...

Can you send pictures of your work, when you get a chance and maybe a parts list. I really don't want too much power, i just would think that it would be easier to look for a 4 barrel carb, but not really sure on that. And since you are talking about that. My dodge only has 3 mounts two for...

I thought about going to a 4 barrel but i am not sure how much it would cost and then setting up the throttle and other stuff. Would it be pretty easy?

okay thank you for that information. I saw that but I have never had to do that and I was thinking about it too. So I have owned the truck for like 28 years and I have changed the carburetor a few times but when I moved to Texas and I had to replace the carburetor. It was leaking fuel from...

Also, the friend said to put my hand over the mouth of the carb and if it dies that means that it's not sucking air in from somewhere else too?

It should be daylight soon and I am going to go back out there and probably pull that one out as i have never had that issue before and the carb doesn't totally look like my old one. I called a freight last night and he is thinking that the other arm may have been for a cruise control possibly...

I don't really know. I watched the choke open from being closed. When I tried to bring down the idle by hand since the Idle screw is not even touching the cam. I noticed that the throttle cable is firmly set so I was assuming if it were not attacked i could bring down the idle if that makes...

Would that effect the ability to lower my Idle do you think?

Different as in how? Probably a different "carb number" than what you had. Same model carb but they can have different numbers of vacuum ports. So how would i get them to order the correct one?

I didn't get a picture of the extra screw in there but it's not hitting anything at all. I installed the carb and let it run for 25 minutes as i was trying looking around trying to see what may keep it for adjusting down for the idle. I didn't even adjust the fuel or air mixture screws as it...

Also there is a extra short screw with a spring on the linkage but I don't know that that there is for either. The truck started right up which was nice and the idle seem steady and not changing with the temp as it goes up. the only issue I have is that the idle is a bit too high and i can't...

the top picture is the old carb and there is no attachment on the bottom for another spring. the second picture had an extra vacuum connect that I plugged, the third picture shows no vacuum. I need to attach the other picture lol

I put on a new(rebuilt) carburetor on today. It is a little different and I am not sure why.
