If you could I'd appreciate a little advice. I have an 87 D150 with the lean burn computer controlled ignition and carb. Most of the vacuum lines (of which there are many) are gone or not connected to anything. It will run, but it misses and has no power. I checked the compression, which is good, and changed the plugs and wires. No change. I'd like to go HEI, but my question is (and yes this may sound stupid) is could I pull the computer controlled carb and distributor and run a point distributor with vacuum advance and the matching carb I know to be good as a temporary measure while I take some time to go through the rats nest of wires and vacuum lines from the lean burn running all over the place? I have the distributor and carb in stock from days past. I appreciate any suggestions. My daughter is moving away and I need the truck to run to avoid a big U-Haul bill.
thanks...
