I just got a 90 k1500 with 4.3 5 speed. it runs good but seems to have a delayed throttle response, by that I mean you hit the gas it revs up but just seems to keep going higher and a couple seconds longer than it seems it should. It’s not a bog , I’m not sure what’s goin on. Any help will be great! Thanks

That's what it's supposed to do.

Are you dealing with a slipping clutch?

lol true that is what it should do. I just feel not like it’s doing this is however the 1st 4.3 I’ve owned in any of my trucks so this could be a quirk im not used to. its not slipping clutch it does it in neutral also
