Hi y'all...fairly new to the group. I'm having some issues with my 84 2.8 BII. I just bought it last month and rebuilt the carb, 'cause it was leaking fuel and flooding. Put the carb on a few days ago and can't get it to idle. It fast idles for about 30 seconds and then dies. Try to start it again and I have to pump it several times while cranking. Idles again for 10 seconds and dies. Try to start a third time and it bucks and sputters. Some of the vacuum lines were blocked when I got it and I'm not sure where they go, so I left them plugged. The diagram on the radiator support is difficult to decipher. Also, I've heard of a "nutter bypass", is that a possible fix?
Any help greatly appreciated.
