Re: cutting out and general misbehav'in

My list for engines that are generally misbehavin' (easiest first)

1.Vacuum leaks: check all hoses carefully including power brake booster and/or transmission shift modulator if the truck has them.

2. Ignition components: points if installed and as mentioned above timing, cap and rotor, coil, plugs and plug wiring.

3. Mechanical: Fuel pump (should pump one pint of gas into plastic container in less then one minute), clogged fuel lines and/or filters, worn timing chain, worn cam lobes if high mileage older engine, valves.
