Glenn...How I wish.....OK hypothetically, if we rule out the carburetor, and any internal engine damage....the focus shifts to electronics.....In my case the only modification is an OEM HEI distributor. - I really have to wonder why the PO replaced the distributor. Well actually, I found some of his posts on another forum where he was trigger happy with doing things with this truck & fortunately only got as far as changing the distributor....As best as can tell....does the wiring look correct?
