Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
I have a guy from Hickory that is going to come out and see if he can get it fixed
I really need to just send it to a mechanic and have them do all the work to it so it can run perfectly

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
For some reason my Transmission cover on the left side doesn't fit it right?
Where my gas pedal is now the transmission cover hits it.. It should be on the firewall?

Thanks Orge. Do you have any idea what could be wrong with my Distributor ?

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
Your distributor may have a worn shaft or the drive gear may be loose.
I really have no idea how they're driven on the 6s. Kim |

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
Is the distributor housing physically moving back and forth with the engine running at a constant speed, or moving when you accel/decel? Or is the timing mark bouncing around when you try and time it? I thought you had bought a new vacuum advance set up and replaced it?

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
It moves around when I start the truck up to the retarded timing area and it pops through the carb . I don't have a new Vacuum advance

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
Sounds like the timing is off or intake valves not completely sealing (timing off) if it backfiring(popping?) through the carberator. Have you put a timing light on it to check the timing setting or are you doing it by ear? Makes a big difference in running with the timing set correctly.

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
It pops because the Distributor moves that way when I start the truck. I've never seen something like it before.. It wasn't doing this until I messed with the rotor cap and put the Dist Cap back on
If the distributor is worn out, is there a way I can get it rebuilt. It did fine until now

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
I've thought of a reason why the truck doesn't idle well, possible intake leak? it has a new gasket but all things can be possible. If I can get it to idle when I figure out this distributor issue. ill squirt some starter fluid to see it it revs up

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
Ok the whole distributor is moving or just the cap? On the 6 cylinder distributor the vacuum advance is tighten down with a nut and screw is it tight? And is it leveled were the distributor is drop all the way down to into the motor? other than that maybe your cap is not on right is the tab on the cap lined up with slot on the distributor?

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
I'd take lowridder up on his offer and focus on changing the distributor and getting it running right before tackling the alternator. Didn't you get the generator rebuilt and get a new voltage regulator? Nothing wrong with the original generator system, I ran mine until 2000. Only reason GM changed was because cars were drawing higher amperage loads and alternators were better way to deal with it. Stock trucks without AC, etc. do fine with 36 amps....

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
I'm trying to figure out the best price for an Alternator brackets. I am going to change out the distributor for my back-up one that I have. Hopefully that will solve some of the current issues
