Im having an issue with my dodge truck, 1985 D100 custom, 318 c.i. (5.2 liter for you metric fans) with 2 barrel holley carb( almost bran new) and 4 speed auto trans.
Truck runs fine in park or neutral, and it drives fine until the motor warms up to where it always is temp wise. Then it starts bogging down like its not getting gas and then it dies. I can crank it and it fires right up but when i put it in gear it wont hardly take gas. I can baby it and poke along at about 10 mph, i checked the timing and its correct. The timing diagram on the hood says, 12 0 at idle with vacuum advance line unplugged. I assume this means 12 degrees BEFORE 0(top dead center) and thats where it is.
As stated, it has a new carb and all vacuum lines are where they should be. But just to be sure i replaced all that showed any signs of cracking or splitting. Still no improvement.
Is there anyone here who could throw me a bone on this one? Im thinking its probly something simple that im missing.
