i have been running this same engine set up sence 2004 (besides basic maitnece,

i really think my timimg is shot to H3LL because my dizzy is not even parallel like it has been sence i had shop put it in (the 3 wire plug is at almost a 45D angle facing the cab

and my plug wires are custom cut to fit when its sitting parallel
the truck wont think about starting when i set it parallel

hmm.. well mine is kinda doing the same thing. a few weeks ago i noticed it had a miss to it and it just got worse and now its basicly undriveable. mine is runing really rough. is that basicly what yours is doing? do you have a tach on yours? mine varys at idle by about 200-400rpm and actually does the same thing at any rpm... i have my timing set at about 14* at idle which is where it was before it started doing what its doing now.

and this may be a dumb question by me but what is "setting the dizzy parrallel"?
