Would this recommendation include the 1980-86 Truck carbs that are not Electronically controlled? I understand they have different air bleeds... But there are a few at the local salvage yard..?

429bbf:
you can use them i actually built a couple of them . if i remember correctly they have a port from the bottom in the secondaries that goes up into the secondary housing . i tapped the hole from the bottom and installed a set screw with bearing mount . this made it just like other carbs . the castings are very nice to work with. if i remember right the numbers were 17085004 or 5 don't keep track of that stuff i just build them to use on what I'm putting it on . get all your parts from cliff .you won't regret it . i was waiting for a kit from him and got in a hurry and used one from napa. the plunger swelled up and fell off the acc. pump in 20 minutes .fwiw.

Jase:
Ok I will go ahead with the late production carbs.. Thanks for the insight on the secondary port work, i will keep that in mind and look for it.

Agreed about the Napa stuff.. I got two carb kits for A couple of monojets, and the acc Pump lasted maybe a week.
