The truck runs but surges while idling but at this point I don't care I'm so happy to hear it run...... Thank you guys all of you I could not have done it with out the info gained from this thread...... Cj thanks for starting it...
Great news!!! Let it run for a while the surging may stop. Make sure to set your timming at 0 degress with the dist bypass unpluged before you do anything else with the tunning.

Again great to see you got it running and, you are welcome about starting the thread. It has turned out to be just what I wanted, a place where you can get some answers on this swap.
