Got the distributor in and the engine timed. Did have an issue at first. Using the instructions that included the use of a relay to replace the ballast resistor. Truck wouldn’t sustain power, it flashed up to 1000rpm and then died.

Wired the distributor without the relay and it fired right up. Idle is cleaner and the truck rips through the power band.

Long as it keeps working… the MSD was worth the cost and effort.

Also ran a couple new fuel lines, replaced the rubber with some braided line.
