Something is very wrong but Im at a stand still cause I dont know if I want to dive into my 5.3 ls swap. This is my daily driver and I cant have it down trying to figure out all the wiring and extra accessories that's needed.

Where do I start??? My edlebrock carb needs a rebuild, for some reason my rockers keep untightening and I can hear them ticky,ticky,tick. I think the biggest problem I have is whoever had this truck before me put a crazy and choppy cam in it for no reason at all so I never seem to get the timing right.

So I just dont know
