Answer
Checking for vacuum leaks would be a good step.
I would connect a vacuum guage, and that way, you can see if a valve might be sticking, or not closing.
A compression test could also help.

I will send you a couple links to a great Chevy forum, that is free, and a wealth of help.

Here is the referral from Fixitfox33,...that is the name I use there.

Then go to the 1973-1987 Fullsize Trucks, and browse around, and/or post a new question.

Here is that section.   http://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/showforum.php?fid/60/

I am on there as Fixitfox33

Good luck,

I have been maintaining a fleet of approximately 55 light, medium and heavy vehicles for over 20 years. Most are 4X4 pickups and off road fire fighting trucks. Some medium duty trucks. Some military light trucks. I can answer most questions concerning 4X4 engine, drive line, suspension, electrical, and fuel, both diesel and gasoline. Ford, GM, and Dodge, old and new, but prefferably not newer than 99.
