Truck is an 87 2.0 Carbed manual trans 2.0.
So far, I've cleaned out the distributor cap, put in new plugs/wires, and fresh fuel.
The truck starts hard, but once it starts it idles pretty well. The issue comes when you try to give it gas, it dies at anything over about 2500RPM (guessing, as it doesn't have a tach).
Did my best to track down any vacuum leaks, addressed a couple possibilities, but didn't find anything huge. Looks like the fuel filter on the carb is relatively new.
I did partially put my hand over the passenger side hole in the carb, and with my hand in place, it mostly revs up like it should. Really pointing me to a fuel supply issue, but I'm not sure.
This particular setup is a bit before my time and I'm having a hard time figuring out what the issue is. Any help anyone can be would be great. Thanks!
