Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV

When I was rebuilding my engine. I found a dist that I didn't know where it came from. It looked new so I dropped it in points and all. The truck started running a bit jerky and I figured it was an ignition problem.
I was up in Reno last week so I strolled into The Summit Racing Store and picked up a new Petronix Dist. I installed it and re gaped the plugs to .040. One was actually at .050, no wonder why the points couldn't keep up.
I must say the difference is night and day with the new dist in.
