    Transmission is good as I thought that might be an issue as well. I ended up changing the fluid and filters on it. Spark plugs are brand new And I put new vacuum plugs on thinking that might be an issue as well, but I have not checked the base plate with carb cleaner

    Not really sure to be honest.. I know the truck originally had a 400 small block. But was blown up before I got it. So they put a 350 in it with unknown miles
