Well I installed the distributor correctly the first time. Part of me is happy because I did t screw up, but I would rather know what the problem is and be able to fix it.

Procedure used on setting the lifter preload was the same as every other time I have worked on the motor. Rotate until exhaust starts to open, adjust intake. Rotate until intake starts to close, adjust exhaust. It was actually way easier than with the old lifters because everything moves freely.

So the truck cranks, sounds like it has compression, and sputters and pops, but won't fire. The whole time I've been running this motor it always lights off so quickly it surprises me. Seems to have some spark and some fuel. My logic is to throw a fuel pressure gauge on the rail and timing light on the distributor while cranking. Not setting any codes but it won't run. Any brilliant ideas???????
