Carb at high alt
A simple low buck fix. Fab a spray bar for front top of the radiator core, simple pipe w/ small holes. Attach to a gallon or 2 water supply & divert your windshield washer pump or any 12v switch controlled pump. The gauge will drop in minutes.- Copymutt

Engine cranks, but only starts after letting off key? - I'm perplexed
Not at all familiar w/ your ECU set up. However some get whacky from radio interference. Easy enough to disconnect the hot to the radio or any com device in the truck.- Copymutt

Dually guys, need your opinions!
I ran duals for a year on the K20. Black valley flashing screwed to the wheel well lip looked better than the numerous busted fiberglass fenders seen around here. I abandoned the duals after one winter of following the crown to the barrow ditches. -

Vapor lock or something else?
Sounds like blockage in the vent line to the charcoal canister. I could be all wet as 74’s don’t have that emission device.- Copymutt

Do I need an electric fuel pump!
Common for carbs that sit for extended periods. Elec. pump as a primer will fix it. Or borrow that little squeeze bulb off one of your chain saws!- Copymutt

Engine cranks, but only starts after letting off key? - I'm perplexed
Haven’t looked at a wiring diagram, but what you describe is common misswire in 55-57 chevys at the ignition switch, or a bad ceramic dropping resistor mounted on the firewall. I’m guessing you have an HEI distributor. My wager is on it or its wiring.- Copymutt

Where to get quadrajet rebuilt?
Many years ago I dug in & learned the zen of just how Quadrajets work and their common issues. I never considered jobbing out something that you could learn & do yourself. No dealing with getting screwed. No question about what was done & good insight to any remaining issue. It’s called a man...- Copymutt
