ive had many problems with my carburetor in general...i recently had it
rebuilt and my truck is starting up fine now...however, im not sure i
am adjusting it correctly.  ive followed directions that ive found
online, but every time i put the truck in Drive it sputters and dies.

i checked the vacuum lines and actually found a cut line so i fixed
it...i also found a bad wire coming from the  ignition module...its
copper wires are exposed and about half are missing...i havent replaced
this yet...but it seems to be getting spark and starting fine...could
this be my problem when i put the truck in drive?  im not sure what to
do next.

please help...thanks

How many RPM's do you have to give it with your right foot to keep it
running if you put it in in drive?

What RPM do you have idle adjusted to?
