Re: Truck sputters and runs like Sh*t

If you never fixed your distributor hold down then you are just wasting time... and a considerable amount of money per the parts list above. Take it to a mechanic that knows more than how to replace a part.

Re: Truck sputters and runs like Sh*t

I found the issue

I needed to tighten the Vacuum advance screw to make the Distributor more tight so it wouldn't shift while it ran, now it runs a lot better. Still needs some tweaks but it runs a lot better

Before it wouldn't idle now it will
