Couple of problems...

Okay so when I got my truck it was running rough I took a couple of steps to correct this problem. I put a HEI dizzy in it, put a Edelbrock 1406 in it, and changed the plug wires. After all this it is still running rough. I did not change the plugs because honestly I couldn't get them to budge. I'm gonna try and tackle this tomorrow and get those changed.

So the truck cranks right up barely even touch the switch bam cranks but the idle is rough and it doesn't get any better when you get it up to speed driving either. I noticed ticking when it is running so I am thinking valve adjustment is in order. Also gonna go tomorrow and replace all the vacuum lines just to make sure all of them are good. Anything else I am missing and should check here?

Also notice when I let off the gas the truck is slowing down way too fast and I notice I hear something whining. I don't even know where to begin on this problem suggestions are welcome.

Then when I parked it to take a look under the hood I noticed steam coming from the bottom of the radiator. I also noticed on the driver's side of the radiator the whole side of it is a green color? Gonna check all the hoses tomorrow and might pick up a thermostat just in case.

I appreciate any suggestions.

Later...Richard
