stutter?
i recieved a 1986 k-20 pickup from my fathers passing and it was not quite up to tune when i picked it up. upon tearing into the tune up i found that three spark plugs were only thread into the cylinder head half way as well as a worn out distributor, 2 burnt plug wires, leaking water pump, and carb studs that were barely thread into the intake leaving the carb only finger tight.
now that i have the tune up complete it runs great except for a small stutter when it is in park idling. right now i have the timing set at 8 degrees and it sits at 690-710 rpms idle. occassionally it will stutter or die out for a second and then resume a solid idle for a minute or two. the truck runs fine down the road at this point but i will be most likely be going with a new carb and a spring kit for the hei. anyone have a clue as to what would cause this. also is this truck new enough to have the esc on it. i have a bunch of connectors sitting on the intake near the carb with nowhere to go.?
