went to start the truck this morning to go to work real hard start and when it did it ran like I was missing a cylinder or two. once I was able to get the rpms up it smothed out but you could still tell something wasn't right . I managed to get it to work poped the hood took off the air cleaner sprayed the carb out good blew some compressed air through the passages still crap . pulled the plugs all look good so I checked the timing because I keep it just loose enough to adjust it when needed couldn't get it to settle out . pulled the cap found the problem points almost closed on high lobe distributor was bone dry it must have rubbed the plastic down enough to close the gap it was 3 thousandths . being a little broke at the moment I had to cheat it a little put some antisieze on the cam and rubbing block on the points to help slow the wear till next week . adjusted it to 18 thousandths set the timing running perfect again . love how easy these are to work on.
