to the carb but wont fire and start up, I've
even took off the carb and used starting

the distributer or carb, any help?

Would it Ben the timing chain? Or the distributer timing??
Ill check later thanks! And I should be able to twist the distributer while cranking until it fires up to roughly time it right? Sorry never owned a truck this old
If you have a shop helper, that would be the thing to do.
Wasn't anything like that, what it was was the ground wire off the block to the fire wall, runs fine now, weird had spark and fuel, dang wire lol
