I copied this thread to the 429/460 forum to help you get an answer...

I would try a larger carb, or make sure your carb's working properly.

the carb is a bit small but it should run it. sounds like the Low pressure pump isn't supplying enough fuel with out the booster pump running.
Might need to readjust the carb if the fuel pressure is OK.

booster pump how do i find that thanx for the help guys before i rebuilt the dist. when i got to a half of a tank or lower is would bogg down bad almost shutdown but when i put it in neutral i could rev up fine but under a load if would do jack and i really think this truck needs a new wiring harness any sugg. where i can get on

See my answer in the 460 forum!

what about where i can get a complete wiring harness for the truck

 

[d-kuzmen]

Your best bet would be a junkyard..

ok now another question can i take oout the 2 elec. fuel pumps that or in the tanks run a regular sending unit slap on a man. pump on the block. If i can do that what do i do about the fuel return line and the relays and other wiring cause i priced new sending units for the elec. and they are almost $400 each and hard to get HELP PLEASE

Better than that... if you pull the tank pumps, and add enough tubing to make the pickup tube work, you can wire in a relay and run a regular in-line electric pump. I mounted mine up under the Drivers side framerail, just ahead of the tank selector switch. Those inline pumps are decently priced, overall, and you effectively bypass your wiring woes.

 

[smokey]

yep what Tom said.

 

[d-kuzmen]

I agree with Tom, but there needs to be a way the pump is killed incase of an accident or somthing.

 

[mrfixit]

Aye... inertia switch!

 

[Diesel]

so change over to the standard sending unit and run just one aftermarket pump in front of the selector motor cause the pumps i have only run like 4-6 psi
