Truck starts and runs very well. However, I noticed the other day that in either 2nd or third gear if I need to get on it, instead of winding out. It bogs down. I thinking starving for fuel. My fuel pump was built by Charlie NY, so doubt it’s that. Carb is maybe a year old from Carpenter. I purchased an nos old style (brass) fuel filter, which you can clean and reuse about a year ago. I’m thinking that is 1st and easiest to fix or replace.
Curious if you folks have other ideas. Truck was also recently tuned up. Plugs, wires, rotor, points and condense. I did not adjust timing.

You should probably check the timing. Replacing the points can cause the gap to change, therefore the dwell, and consequently the timing. Probably not it, but you should recheck the timing every time you change the points.

Re: 52 f1
Instruction say to plug the line from the carburetor. There shouldn't be any vacuum on the line at idle, but it only takes a second to block it. The vacuum source is removed from the advance canister, which is the objective.
I agree that the filter (or other flow restriction) would be the first suspect. |

I'd bet on the timing. Be sure to check the vacuum advance too.
