Are the weights in top of dist. rusty and hanging up? Condensation in dist cap?
Send me yer email, and I'll send ya that pic of that tag I was showing you.
Hope yer problem isn't to hard to fix. Some can be so obvious you overlook them. Dan

The Hot Dog...I could never attend one of WES's events out in Washington so I said he could at least send me a hot dog via UPS. He did and its the rubber Hot Dog.

I have an HEI set up. I have been on the road this week so I haven't had an opportunity to check anything out.

Water...only during the rain storm. I will not let a little water and engine miss get this kid down.

I hope to post some info about the winners of the meet tonite. I will pm you my email address. Again it was great meeting up with you.

Bad ju-ju..... Well I will let you know my hotdogs are tested ju-ju free!!
DeWayne, try running a bead of windshield sealant under the gasket where it meets the windshield frame. I have a ju-ju free feeling that the water is getting past the gasket where your door pillars meet the upper and lower windshield frame. WES

I have run into the miss issue with the coil severay times, brand new coil not performing correctly, the spring and rubber underneath were installed incorrectly, the same miss with a vaccum line cracked, worn cam lobe, fuel filters as the previous owner didn't realize the factory q jet has the little filter on the carb so they had installed a second inline on the frame and both were marginal, and a faulty electric choke that was stuck open, all worth checking easiest to hardest, as for the water, I have run into this with a poor window seal, good luck with the truck

Windshield leak is no big deal; there's factory drainage engineered into these trucks-drain holes at the base of the w/shield pillars meant to track down and out the rockers. I'd bet the waters coming in at the top corners; the joint of the w/shield pillars and upper cab header-a good gooping will fix 'er up! If your miss is under load, I'd look for a weak spark plug/burnt plug wire; weak spark will fire until cylinder pressure increases=load.
