they came with the truck but look pretty new. No clue if OEM or not. They do have the red end for the center dist wire, so they look the part, but i really don't know.I've also had issues with using off the shelf plug wires and coil wire. OEM for the win? Just a thought.

Well that's one item I'm actually pretty confident in. I had Mark rebuild it as soon as I got it. I guess I shouldn't assume everyone remembers all 16 pages of the thread.I would be tempted to send the carb to JimC (not sure I have that reference correct?) to have it rebuilt just to know it was done.
Don’t assume something didn’t make its way past your filter and plugged a passage in the carb but before you give Mark a call you can do a few things first. Get a few cans of carb cleaner or brake clean and with the engine warm and running spray around the base of the carburetor and listen for a change in engine RPM, might have to repeat a few times but we are checking for a vacuum leak at the base of the carb and the RPM’s will change if it sucks in the cleaner. It the carb base checks out good repeat around the intake runners at the head. Next locate your fuel filter and if it’s clear look to see if it has a fine rust sediment sitting in it, if it’s a steel filter remove the filter and shake it out over a paper towel and again look for a fine rust sediment.I had Mark rebuild it as soon as I got it
Was thinking I might replace the fuel filter. Metal unit.

Pull the spark plugs post pictures.
Yes do that, grab a couple clear filters and the spray carb cleaner at the parts store.Was thinking I might replace the fuel filter. Metal unit. Not exactly new looking
Told you it was the carb........kidding.
Compared to the 1950s Rochester that came with it, the Aisin I have on there is pretty good. Mark said it was a later year replacement and in great shape but I have no basis of comparison. Isn't the gutless factor of the F engines the charm? gotta go slow to catch all them looks!Tried going back to an Aisin carb without much luck. Discovered that it’s a one barrel carb with a vacuum secondary. Which is fine as long as the secondary diaphragm is good. Otherwise you drive around pouring 150 cfs to it, defining the term “gutless wonder”.

What's the move?Yeah, that’ll cause some issues
I assume you say boil out because replacement tanks aren't a readily available option. Searched a little and didn't see much.That looks to me a lot and worthy of a tank boil out.
