Well i warmed the truck up, and found a pole to nose it up to while in gear i adjusted the idle. i got it down to 750 in drive and it goes back up to 900 in park. so i am happy with it till i get my new intake.
Okay then its showing correct, I'm using one of the 2 bbl to 4 bbl adapter plates and the motor idles at 1200 if i bring the idle down to 650 the truck stalls while in gear.
There are no vac leaks.
I haven't bought my new intake yet.
Okay with the factory timing chain, got the dots lined up. the pointer on the balancer is at 0 TDC started the truck and turned the Distributor to 12 BTDC shut the truck off hooked up the vac advance and the timing looks like its at 30 BTDC its just not making sence to me how the timing...
Got everything put back together and the truck runs, Now i have a whole new list of running problems i have to fix, but i will save them issues for another day.
I took the intake off to day and got the front of the motor tore down to also replace the timing chain, I think the motor may of been rebuilt once, really clean inside, I will get pic's up soon.Only thing that seems weird is if the motor was rebuilt once why would the timing chain be so loose...

Yep fuel pump, before i replaced all the parts in the fuel system, i had a rust issue. ( never would of thought of this ) the rust built up in the fuel pump and clogged it. that also explained the ruff running the last few days. new pump is on and she runs nice and smooth.
Had to tow the old girl home today, broke down at the gas station.I got no fuel in the fuel filter,the fuel pump is new, but in the last few days the truck has been hard to start, dieing when i come to a stop, and motor was shaking and missing at idle.Other then a fuel pump is there some...
