One question or yours that I forgot to answer. The Intake/Exhaust gaskets were replaced last year. Still look good. No black soot around this area. |

Re: 1968 GMC 250 Inline 6 4.1L Chugging
Sounds similar to my issue last year: Truck had an occasional backfire or load up when driving. It progressively got worse to where it would start OK, but would die when put into gear. It would idle and rev OK, but ran badly under a load, or when stopping at a stoplight. I had to put it in neutral a few times to keep it from dying at intersections. Later it would lean out and backfire after it warmed up and eventually would not restart when warm.
Fix: New coil and module. GM HEI was only a few years old, but as we know that doesn't matter. Upgraded to DUI coil and module and have been running great since. |

UPDATE:
Carburetor came back from the shop and everything checks out ok. I pulled the distributor and put new points and condensor in even though points looked good and condensor was a year old. New issue. I marked the distributor and motor so I could just drop it back in. I also took a picture of which way the rotor was pointing. When I try to reinstall, the distributor will only seat with the rotor pointing another direction. Why? Should it not go back in the way it was? The truck was not moved and or cranked while distributor was out. First pic is before I pulled it. Second pic is how it now seats... uuugh! Help! |

If the 6 cyl is like the V8, you use a long screwdriver after pulling the dizzy back out and turn the oil pump slightly. Looks like you want to turn it slightly to the right.
Sometimes when you pull the dizzy it turns the pump some so putting it back in same orientation the slot end of dizzy won't engage the pump unless it goes where the pump now is. |

Looks like you are one tooth off. Do you have before and after pictures of the crank pulley and timing marks?

Well... The truck is now running like a champ. I changed the points, condensor and coil (again). Checked dwell and timing. Looks like it was ignition related after all.
I'd like to thank everyone for their help! I hope to be able all of you some day. Thank you! |
