Diggin up an old post here just to show everyone my findings.

It seems I must have had two problems with the truck.

First problem: The sock that acts as a filter on the gas tank sending unit was worn bad. Just holding it in my hand, the sock was breaking off in tiny pieces. I'm sure that was clogging things. I replaced this, along with the fuel lines and fuel filter.

Then I start the truck up, and it runs even worse than it did before. Misfires real bad when in neutral and revving it up. It was horrible.

Then I remembered what ureckme had told me over the phone the night before. He mentioned trying to unplug the vacuum advance on the distributor and see if this makes any kind of difference.

Well whaddya know? Unplugging the bastard worked! Turns out that my remanned distributor that I put in last week is bad. Now I just have to prove this to the parts guy.

I've been jumping through hoops and tearing this truck down trying to fix this problem, and I think it's finally coming to an end. The truck runs better, gets better gas mileage again, and hasn't even come close to acting like it used to... (knock on wood)

Just thought I would let y'all know
