The forum is pretty good at helping folks with a certain problem. It's very hard to learn complete operation, testing, troubleshooting and repair of each system in a forum. (I know that is not what you are asking for). If you are interested in learning all about basic mechanics, it's best to get a motor manual for your motor/truck and go thru it. They have trouble shooting sections and explanations of operation.
As soon as you can, time your motor, get new plugs, points, cap and wires. Set the points. A mild tune up is in order here immediately, no matter what the problem.
