i had an issue not long ago where my dump was getting harder and harder to start which i just written it off as be flooded because of how i was using the truck. after checking things over to the point of removing my valve cover for a look see. i noticed my dist. had turned and it turned to the point where it it wouldnt start. i turned it back to where i thought it should be and it did fire but not running smooth. retimed and really tightened clamp screw and now it starts like its designed to. what caught my eye to the problem is that my cap spring clips werent in line with the engine.
