Re: Penny
Spent all afternoon trying to make the truck run better with no success.
Replaced lots of vacuum lines, still didn't help. Noticed that the accelerator pump wasn't returning quick enough, so took the top of the carb off to attempt to fix that. The seal was too tight and keeping it from going back up. Put it back together, started running again, and then it died.
Well, apparently, I messed up bad by not putting the distributor hold down clamp on properly. Yup, the distributor popped out of the hole and now my timing is royally screwed up. Tried to get it back together, but I can't find TDC on plug one. My attempt at it failed and now the truck won't even fire off.
Throwing in the towel for today and I'll try again next weekend if the weather is nice.
