Got my Panel on the road today - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

After spending the winter rebuilding the 230 I6, it's finally going. I had been going nuts chasing down a back-firing problem for the last little while. I had tried everything I could think of at least twice, and as I was adjusting the valves EXACTLY like the book said (following the firing order) I realized I had #2 & 4 plug wires reversed. Switched them around and now it's running like a top. I put about 50 miles on it today, and it never missed a beat. If the weather is nice tomorrow, I'll get it cleaned up and post some pics.
