sixmilman is on a distinguished road
77 Cheyenne idling

So I have the truck in park and its idling normal then it drops low and slow rises to a fast idle. What the heck is going on? I set the timing and drive it then the idle almost stalls out. Help plz

it sounds like the float in the carb might be starting to go, is it brass or the composition type? What else have you done to it lately?
