So my 74 has started missing going up hills in 4th gear and sometimes in 3rd gear what would cause this? Plugs look good a little rich but not bad. I am lost on these.
F motor with Miss in 4th gear/going up hills.

Prob the fuel filter....thats what I thought it could be cause I just put in a new fuel tank....changed it out once since then maybe need to do it again.
Could possibly be the float adjustment. I'm not sure how steep a hill you are talking about but I have had problems with steeper angles and carbs in the past. I've never had an original carb on any of the Landcruisers I've owned but have dealt with Rochesters many times.

grrr put a new fuel filter in it still doing it......whats next?
Like said before, try a float adjustment.
Is it because its a steep hill, or are you just trying to go up it with a low rpm?

Figured it out. Not getting fuel to the fuel filter....either have a clogged up pump or clogged up lines. I put a new to me fuel tank in and stired up a mess in the bottem when I put fuel in it. Hopefully I can tear the pump down and clean it up.

Its getting gas to the hard line 2 ft from the tank. Have to pull the soft line off and look there. If not there then I will pull the pump.
