help truck not accelerating
Ok so i recently got me a 1971 chevy c10 first build ever. I've been having trouble with the truck not moving. It has the floor shifter, when i bought the truck it was very loose but the guy i bought the truck from showed me it still changed gears and was working perfectly fine. i recently changed the oil, new oil filter, battery wires, new spark plugs,alternator, and wires.Me being the newbie that i am i took them off all at once. i saw a video on youtube and got the stock spark plug wire diagram for chevy's and did as it was on the diagram.That pushed me back even further on trying to get it to run. now i had a problem with it not starting so i knew i did something wrong.watched another video that said that the firing order was not always stock on the distributor if it was replaced by someone that didn't know how.Not sure if i did it right but i took apart the distributor and saw where the first spark plug wire was suppose to be.I then put it all back together and it fired right up. then i tried putting it on drive pushed the gas and no go. I've looked at linkage not sure how its suppose to go.this morning i tried to turn it on and it was dead i then recharged my battery and fired up again.might have an electrical problem as well. is there any way that i was to ruff with the distributor and knocked it out of place does that have anything to do with it not accelerating if it cranks and turns over? help please!!!
