Since I changed the distributor I have been able to drive the truck. I forgot to tighten the intake manifold and ended up sucking in part of that gasket.

Since replacing the gasket and the metal rings on the intake manifold I cannot get this truck to run. It starts just fine, idles high with the choke on and then begins to surge.

It will start and rev up with the choke on like a normal engine would do. And then it starts to die and then it picks back up it just goes back and forth surging the RPMs.

I have double checked the timing and I can't seem to find a vacuum leak anywhere on the manifold or the vacuum advance. What am I missing where would you guys look next?

My Grandfather bought it new and Dad drove it through highschool. The 3rd & 4th generations put it back on the road on 8/8/2015!
