Carburetor questions
« on: April 25, 2015, 08:30:48 am »
1986 C10...305..was driving it yesterday got it to about 60 (testing new brakes)  and it started to slow down dramatically. Managed to get it home but would stall when stopped. Was idling high before I took it out. Found a vacuum hose was off, and this thing (picture) unplugged. Insight where this connects too ? Can't find the mate . thank you.
