Thanks Hotrod, I'll try getting #6 (firewall side) rocking and #1 should be good to go. I'll find #1 plug (engine front at radiator) and make sure my rotor is pointed to it , and change the plug wire so this is #1, then follow the firing order clockwise. so no adjsutments to rotor cap etc., jsut see where rotor ends up and move wires accordingly?
I wanted to ask, just so I learn, if I had #1 rocking is this why its firing when the intake valve is open?
Sorry for the extremely simple engine questions, I've never needed ot do anything to the motors of the trucks I've done, they always ran.
