well i scored another truck. this ones a 81 with a 22r and a 5 speed. i wanna get everything from motor to drivelines donr just the way i want it in the 81 and then once its all done swap it all into the 80. the 80 is a much cleaner body. in the mean tim i need to get my 80 running good with the motor thats in it. somtimes it wont idle. when i bought it the guy said it was a rebuilt carb. its got good compression. the spark plugs are clean and propperly gapped. why does it act this way? when i first start it it surges bad untill it warms up then once ive driven it and its really warm most of the time if i stop and take my foot all the way off the gas it will die. besides that both trucks have a pretty noticeable flat spot in the throttle.
toss the little 20R carb and put a 22R exhaust or a header on and you'll be happily surprised
a 20R head and intake on the 22R block is easy and simple horsepower
