Re: Feeling in over my head and not sure what to do next

You ordered all the right parts. I found one in my garage but saw you ordered the exact same pieces. When you go to thread that new adapter on, be very, very sure it is square on the threads or you will open a new can of worms. Is that the oil pressure line almost touching the dizzy (distributor)? When you get your truck running, leave it run. Turn off all your lights in the garage. Now look towards the back of the engine and see if you spot any arcing. You can see them really good when it's dark. You might want to shorten and tuck the oil pressure line more down behind the engine. The arcing will hurt the performance of your engine.
