              I found a good forum as well.

              http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php

              I post as Flashback on there, because, well the truck is a flashback to the 80's.

              And also, according to answers I've gotten on there, the trans needs rebuilding. I get a lot of gear noise in 1st and 2nd and 2nd gear pops out quite often

              Popping out of 2nd probably means the brass syncro gear for 2nd is worn out. This can be replaced without special tools and the gear itself only costs about $15, but it is a lot of work to drop everything and pull it apart.

              The gear noise is probably your main shaft and input shaft wearing out. If this is the case you won't notice much noise in 3rd until you get above 55mph or so, depending on rear gear ratio. This isn't too hard to fix but requires special tools and a press, best handled by a reputable shop
              Poping out of gear is common and fixible as posted above. The other noise you are hearing is probably a bearing in the case. Sounds to me like you should take it to a transmission shop for overhaul. I have one there myself, mainshaft swap, new bearings and all the stuff you have to do to keep it from poping out of gear for $550
              $550 ouch! So I'm on the hunt for a good used NV4500 5 speed, these come out of 92 and up 3/4 - 1 ton trucks. I'll have to find and install one before winter, as I'm gonna store the Accord and drive this.

                  So who is knowledgeable on older carburetor vehicles?

                  The first problem was that the engine bogged at more than 1/2 pedal. At first I figured that the double pumper on it was too much, so I switched it out for an Edelbrock 1406. Still had same problem but more pronounced, I assume because of less fuel being dumped in. I changed the plugs and cleaned all the contacts under the cap. Nope. However the plugs that came out all looked fairly new and were golden brown, except 2 of them. The one from cyl # 8 was black, sooty, and had a little buildup on it. This engine has all the emissions equip. and EGR removed. The one from cyl # 5 looks barely used. I unplugged that wire and the engine runs worse tho. I set base timing @ 4 degrees advanced, it was way off. It runs great now except it still bogs at wot and sounds like its sucking air though the carb. Vacuum reading drops to zero when this happens. I looked down the carb at the jets and they just drip the fuel as well, so I figure fuel pump isn't making enough pressure. So I get one and replace it. Nope still the same, except no ticking noise now. So I am out of ideas, my only other thought is vacuum leak, maybe around the #5?
