Yes, spark looks blue.
I tried the advise of moving distributor wires until it was 180 degrees. Never got a bang doing that.
Here is the short story. Bought the engine from a shop/junk yard in Minnesota, in business 40+ years. They pull engines that customers want to replace. They had the one with correct casting #'s for my truck. They will test run them and then paint the color that the customer wants. They said the engine ran smooth. It came with 12v starter and generator. I swapped out with my rebuilt 6v starter and generator.
It shipped well-braced on a skid. My goof was when I attempted pulling the engine off the truck using my come-along straps on the engine, it tipped on the carb side, hitting the ground and broke the carb base. I sent out for carb rebuild.
I do not know if I damaged the engine or what, but I followed some of the great tips here, but it is same-'ol-same-'ol.
