Pickup with 130k miles. Just started surging at nearly all speeds. Down on power also while climbing. Won't even take off without stalling until having been warmed up for a long time. Difficult then too.

I installed a rebuilt carb about 60k miles ago and changed the fuel pump and fuel filter about 1000 miles ago. I installed new spark plugs today. No change.

Any ideas? Plug wires? Other ignition components perhaps?

Thanks.

Tune up should include plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Bet you might be finding a junk cap and arced out rotor.

I have now replaced all those things and while it does start easier and rev more freely, the same problem is there. A new coil is $22. My gut tells me it's the carb though....though my gut has been wrong many times before.....
