I'll probably feel a lot better once I get the rear end figured out and front boots replaced. It's a bit overwhelming on top of all my other projects.

I definitely don't have a lot of room in my life for another project. I already need to figure out how to put brakes on the back wheels. It was bobbed, single wheel swapped, and a pinion brake put in. Not ideal for a on road truck. When I bought it I was told by a few people that these things...

I do have a decent pump that would be fine for circulating fuel. I did read through that link. Looked like they were just pumping through and screened funnel. Doesn't seem like it would do too much to filter out water. Maybe?

I'm a bit confused by that statement. Are you saying that I should never run the truck below 1500 to avoid damaging the button/quill? Or that if the button has fallen off, it won't run below 1500? I can get it to run just fine at 800 or so as long as I keep a little pressure on the fuel pedal...

Not solved. It is better but not right. Idle speed screw is bottomed out and it will idle at around 1000-1200 if you slowly let off the pedal. But if you even bump the clutch, as soon as the RPMs drip even a little it will slow down and die, even if you immediately release the clutch. I'm...

Not solved yet. It idles better and will somewhat idle on its own. But if I release the clutch a bit and bring the RPMs down at all, it won't recover and will die after a second or so. The filters are spin-on and seemed to seal pretty decent. There was a newer looking aluminum cylinder between...

Well, I got the filters changed last night and it runs... not worse haha. There was a brown slime covering the inside of the filters and housing, so I'm thinking contamination is definitely part of the problem. There is Diesel Purge, Marvel Mystery, and Powerservice in the tank, so that should...

Filters should be in tomorrow or Saturday. That is definitely my first step. Going to fill the primary with Diesel Purge. That stuff works magic on everything I have put it in. The guy I bought it from had some issues getting it to run. I guess the filters were totally clogged and full of water...

Would it get worse? It did have a small problem idling but was fixed with pulling the throttle lock out a bit. Now I can't get it to idle stable under 1200 or so with the lock. So whatever it is has gotten worse. My gauge said around 20 PSI down near idle, but it kept stalling so it was hard to...

The fuel shutoff plunger seems to move very freely, so that is good. I only replaced the filter under the radiator, I have not done the ones on the engine myself. I ordered 2 new ones so I can replace them myself. I have no idea on the history of the pump. It will run very slow with my foot on...

I have a 1970 M35A2. It runs great, starts perfect at 15F and overall runs really smooth. The issue I have is I can't get it to idle. If I hold my foot on the pedal, it will sit at 800 rpm all day. But to get it to idle on its own, I have to pull the throttle lock out and keep it at around 1200...
