Am checking all suggestions. Have installed new 24V fuel pump. Still wants to stall. Have new spark plugs and am installing, but that is not why this thing keeps shutting down.
Back to the fuel pump, the one I took off had two wires going into the harness. I hooked up the hot wire to the new one, but is the other an internal system type ground. Should I attach my ground wire to that wire? The pump I bought was for general use and was to be grounded to the frame, but is that correct for this truck?
Mr Stud, when you say ignitor, do you mean the wire that goes into the distributor??
Thanks, we are spending another day on this beast, trying to have it for Memorial Day????

OK, reset points, they were too wide. Changed coil, new spark plugs, new points and condenser, new fuel pump? Still no good. Starts right up and idles fine. Soon as start down road starts sputtering, especially on hills.
Was looking at an old carb I have and there is a needle valve in it that mine does not have. I may have not noticed it, and lost it when cleaning carb? In looking at carb info sent me there is something called "pump discharge needle valve" but the drawing is very hard to see>
Does anyone know if there is a needle valve in the main body other than the one at the float?

No improvement. Starts right up, idles fine, start down road, soon as a hill or grade, starts sputtering. Sometimes even on the level?
I am out of ideas, I have done everything suggested that I am able to do, or understand.
It is just a Gas engine, I am 72 yrs old and have worked on my own cars and trucks for many years in the past. (Not this new crap.) But this kind of stuff,. Fuel air and spark. I have never had anything like this. Out of ideas and darned near out of $$$.
