Re: Can anyone help me get this truck running correctly?

I haven't checked the dizzy yet but

I'm a little confused on this timing tab on this thing it only shows 0 to 12 so I'm not sure if that's before top dead center or after top dead center. I'm pretty sure I found the correct tan wire, disconnected it and loosened the distributor. When I set the timing gun on it it was showing 10 to 12 degrees and it should be at zero as far as I know. I set it to zero and killed the engine. Tighten dizzy bolt and disconnected battery for 5 min. It seems to run a little better but still has the vibration and idling a little funky. I am going to order a MAP sensor and a cat. converter tonight for it and replace those next week.
