It's running....
After a frustrating February and busy March, I decided to give the old truck another go. It would start, then die immediately. I figured it was fuel starvation, but when I jumped the fuel relay it did the same thing.
The wife picked up a harmonic balancer for me, so I figured I'd at least try to get it timed correctly yesterday.
The balancer went on OK, I put a new driver side manifold with the O2 sensor bung, wired that up, and then went to start it. Nothing. No spark.
Threw a spare distributor on, no change.
Finally set the timing to TDC 0, stabbed the distributor correctly, with a new cap and rotor. She fired right up!
I even drove out of the driveway today for the first time since July.
She starts right up and idles well. Chasing down a few random noises but it's idling smooth, the computer is now controlling the timing, and the idle is right at 1000 cold and 650 warm.
I'm happy as a pig in slop right now!
