I can't believe that I got rid of the headers and she still drags when hot. Wow, this truck is going to kill me yet. It does seem a little better.

Anyway the guy at the muffler shop swears it's my timing. I have it at 8btc, but I don't know what cam it has and if it's degreed. He says I need the fancy timing light that others here have mentioned and check total timing. More money I would rather not spend.

He says I most likely need to give it MORE advance, I would think the opposite?

Also, he said I may have the distributor 180 degrees off. THAT makes no sense, I would not think it would even run.

Opinions?
