Ya, he just put it on, it better be clean.
In reference to my last post, where was the intake manifold kept while the truck
was apart waiting for the head? and how long was it apart?
Was anything stuffed into the intake to keep crud out during storage etc. ?
See where I'm going with this? you might have to pull the carb or the intake a visually
inspect for some sort of blockage if all else fails.
I know it sounds extreme, but if all you have told us is correct and you are sure there
aren't any bad plugs (junk new parts) and all the wires are good, the firing order is right
the compression is good, the distributor is not dropping spark on those 2 cylinders for
some strange reason (bad dizzy pickup) the valves are opening, no broken rockers, etc.
then it should run fine.
