Follow up video to the earlier walkaround where we do a cold start, show the idle, and do a quick drive with the new 450 cfm Quick Fuel carb on my '79 F250.

Great truck. I grew up near Duluth and had a 78 F250 4x4 with the 300 in high school. We were out in the swamps all the time revving that engine to the moon and it never gave me any trouble. Though the 38" super swampers really made that engine fall on its face when I hit 4th gear on the highway. Thanks for video. Sweet rig!

That sounds like it runs amazing. I have the stock Carter 1 barrel with all the emmisions bs on my 81. Very much am considering switching to this setup. Had an issue the other day where I was riding down the road and backfired out of nowhere. Started looking at it and the carb was shooting fuel out where it bolts to my intake, and my intake manifold had fuel sitting in the bottom of it. Way too rich plus the fact that I though pumping the gas was going a good idea when trying to restart. Oops haha

You are correct I am running a coolant plate to heat the intake. You can make your own, or I purchased one from Raso Enterprises here: autoparts.rasoenterprises.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=8 Please note that I believe his kit is specifically for the C-Series Offenhauser intake which I happen to be running.

Drove nothing, cars, motorcycles, vans, and pickups from the 1970s only until 2015. Then I had a Saab and an Explorer, 2004 and 2005. I have a 1990 Ford F150 4.9 liter and it's too new for me. Serpentine belt, fuel injection, computer, and I am definitely learning that I wished I had gotten an older one with a carburetor, no computer, single belts, no sensors.
