If your stall flashes to 4k I would leave it. Brake stall is not the same as a flash stall. I would find out what it is before wasting money on a new converter. Get the shift points/carb fixed and I bet it will be a different truck.

Yea true I must have not noticed him saying that. A good tune is what I would start with. The video the motor sounds healthy but sounds like its starving for fuel

So I take it you don't think the stall is slipping. And I the only thing I know about the stall is what it breaks at and flashes too. The guy started building this truck in 93 so there is no telling if it was a cheap stall or a good one.

I'm gonna start breaking the truck down tomorrow and take the carb to my grandpas buddy to have him go threw it unless he has one with manual secondary's. I'll update findings in a few days
