Re: 72 Cheyenne Super

Great looking truck!

Have you figured out the engine issue yet?

If not, you might want to check for a stretched timing chain. That will make it start hard sometimes and could lead to all kinds of issues.

Thanks! I think I was chasing a couple of bugs and was going around in circles. I ended up rebuilding my temp carb while my original was being worked and refinished by Cliff Ruggles (Looks great btw). I also rebuilt the distributor, added a new vacuum advance, condenser, shimmed etc. Its running pretty well now so it was one of the two or the combination. Waiting to borrow a dwell meter to get it dialed in but Im pretty happy with the way its running.
