So what does your truck run like?
How well does it start?
What's your timing set at?

The truck runs fine to me and runs the same way since I bought it. The truck usually needs to be cranked a few times to get it going on a cold start. Need to give a bit of gas and rev for a bit to get it to idle without turning off. This is only on cold starts. When it is warmed up it turns on fine. Idle is a little rough but nothing that isn't understandable given the age of the truck.

As far as timing I have no clue on what it is set at, I'd need to get a timing light to find out or if there is another way to figure this out let me know.

There is a bit of a smell of gas in the exhaust so I believe that means it is running rich?
