Success
So I got tired of swapping out carbs,wasting my time trying to figure out what was wrong and needing this truck on the road (DDing a suburban right now); I ended up buying a new Weber and adapter gaskets. So far I'm happy to report that it works flawlessly, and now I can get on to more fun parts of the project.

So I got tired of a multi-colored truck so I rolled some rustoleum. In hind sight I should get more lighting for my garage so I can see what I'm doing, but it turned out okay I think though.

Its hunter green. So with a one gallon of denatured alcohol mixed with my gas, I passed emissions easily the first go. Should my truck sound like a diesel though? I have gotten a few people asking if it was and it does sound like one when its idling.
