I have the truck running! Turns out the spade had fallen off the adj screw and was wedged on the frontside of the vb. I got it freed out of there and was able to reattach it without dropping the vb. That means I was equal parts sailor and surgeon. Took her on a test drive today and she ran beautiful. All problems have been resolved at this point!

Thank you to those of you that pitched in on this thread!!!

 

 

Good deal.

 

That is awesome
