I see a lot of stuff that's not hooked up. Do you still have the vacuum diagram on the radiator support?

none
that round ball with the vac. line is for ac/ without it hooked up the vents won't switch and not being plugged at the carb causes a big leak, and could cause the truck to not run.

your dist. vac. advance is unhooked that NEEDS to be hooked up, again can cause it to not run for sure.
