and this may be a dumb question by me but what is "setting the dizzy parrallel"?
setting the dizzy parrallel just means that was how my dist would always sit at (the mallory sticker would be parallel with the cab)

now when i set it parallel it wont even start

it seems to me that my truck is doing simular things as yours the motor just has a sick sound to it (idleing or in gear)

the only way i can explain it is you know when your sick and you get flem in your neck and you clear your thoat---thats what my trucks exhaust pipes sound like now..

the rpm does move a little but i dont have a tach
