I just bought a 85 K5 and had new belts put on, and fluids changed. Drove it home and on the way it stalled out on me. It would start back up and I would go to put my foot on the gas and it would die. It keep doing that so I called the place that did my service. They towed it back to the shop. changed the fuel pump, rebuilt the Carbuerator, new starter, Reset the timing. I picked it up and the same thing happened. can you help please?

Hmm.. Im stumped here... Did you check fuel pressure? Kind of sounds like idle/air mixture screws could be off to.. The way i do those is screw them all the way in then two and a half turns out. Does it pop when it quits? Like out of the carb.?
Yes. It does pop when it quits. I have talked to different people and some say there could be a leak from the manifold. The last thing the shop told me is that they sprayed on the right hand side of the motor and the idle fluctuated, but in a good way. Could it be that?
Ok, After a new fuel pump, starter, Rebuilt Carb, Fuel filter, timing adjusted, and now new manifold gaskets, it ran great last night, today to work back home again it sat for a hour went to drive around the block and it tried to pop and shut off again. I put in neutral revved it up again and got it home. Anyone please help.
