I tried turning the carb 90 degrees and was able to use my original linkage setup. Had to buy a piece of steel rod, cut to fit and thread it, but it seems to work ok. No problems in driving it, although I suppose the main issue is in cornering. I don't expect to take many curves fast in this truck anyway!
Don't know why but I just didn't care for the brushed air cleaner that came with carb. I primed and painted it gloss black to match the original, and I like it now.
After carb, I still had my miss. The plugs were fairly new, but I decided to try a little hotter plug.....no more miss!!
Drove the truck around a bit today....what a great 50th birthday present.
