Been lurking around here for a while so i decided to finally join. I had an 86 that was my first vehicle but it ended up sitting due to gas prices. I decided to get back into the game with an 87 that i bought off a buddy. Motor trans and case into the 87. Its getting to the point to where its almost ready to take for a drive. The only problem is when i started it the other day the truck would not want to idle off choke nd eventually started smoking a bit of gray smoke nd would not run for crap. I believe it is the carb having something plugged from sitting for 3 years. It is an edlebrock 1405 600cfm manual choke sitting on a performer intake. Does anyone have some tips on where to go from here. I am kinda thinking about going to a holly with an electric choke since we have had good luck in the past but also looking at the truck avengers. I am not real good at tuning truck carbs but have some knowledge of carbs from working on quads nd bikes.
