im about ready to burn this truck to the ground

the truck is pulling 16 inches of vacuum at idle, but without knowing the specs on the cam, that doesnt tell you much

Seriously though I think some kind of timing maybe I know I'm just spitballing here but in advance spring popped off inside the distributor? Again it just seems like timings off under load..

i pulled the rotor cap off and felt the advance lever, there is defintly pressure on there


when i pulled it off though, the center electrode (im sure thats not what its called, but you guys know what i mean) looked burned and brittle

i got a buddy who has terrible taste in trucks and he has one of them HEI caps kicking around, so ill swap that out, probably monday, and see what she does
