Right now the airflow is probably sucking the throttle fully open.

Your throttle set up looks like there was a Super Six there once. You might need to get a cable set up to make the little Holley work. I have some good pictures of how the Holley should be set up. Click on the red link below my name and put them in slide show mode for better viewing. You might be doing some junkyard scrounging to get the needed parts. Right now the throttle rod is 90 degrees off from making the carb work. A cable set up would solve that problem.

I noticed in your video that the carburetor throttle linkage is being sucked open as soon as you start it. That's why it's dying right after it fires. If you want to get it to run while you're waiting on the correct linkage, just put the spring haning from the intake on the carb linkage to keep it closed. It should give your a chance to fire it over without blowing it up. You're lucky it hasn't stayed running. I'd hate to see a rod hanging out the side of the block.

Good luck.

Could you school me on the correct carb for the super six? Is the current super 225 that's in there not a super six?

I'm going to check out your pics now. Finding close up pics is one thing i've struggled with lately.

The "Super 225" sticker simply means the engine is 225 cubic inches. That was a marketing ploy used in the 60s on Dodge vehicles.

The "Super Six" was a late 70s and early 80s option on the slant six that included a two barrel carburetor, a special air cleaer with the Super Six decal on it, a special kickdown, and a 2 1/4 inch exhaust line. See HERE. The factory correct carburetor for a "Super Six" is a Carter BBD (with special features to make it work right on a slant six) or a Holley 2280.

To determine which way the throttle should move at wide open throttle, open the choke, look down the throat of the carb, and work the throttle.

I believe what caused Ted to say your engine used to have a Super Six was the bracket bolted to the side of the intake that sticks out towards the radiator. I respectfully disagree with ted's analysis. That bracket does not look like a Super Six bracket to me. I suspect that bracket was the rear brace for the A/C compressor that is now missing from the engine. Looking back at some of the other pictures you have posted, there is a large bracket with four holes on top of a large flat plate mounted above and to the driver's side of the water pump. I believe that is where the A/C compressor (or possible some other accessory put on the 60s era D100 trucks) would have mounted. I believe the bracket from the intake would connect to the back of the compressor.

I do not see any signs that your motor was ever equipped with a Super Six system. It looks like you have the throttle return spring figured out. Here is a hint- if the spring pull the throttle closed that way, which direction does the throttle open to get to wide open throttle?

Just looked through you pictures and one thing caught my eye. You have a close up picture of your vent bowl and there's a valve that's holding the top hat.
