Post RUNNING AGAIN!!

had alot of problems with my ignition, tried to adjust timing and it got worse and worse to no avail each time i played with it tothe point it stopped running all together.

bought some new taylor 8mm plug wires, new bosch plugs, new cap and new rotor, left the coil alone.

truck runs perfect now, i always used to have to let it warm up for a minute or two each morning if i wanted to drive it, now it starts up immediately like a new car (truck has HEI) and it runs great.

3 of the old plug wires werent getting power to the spark plugs consistantly, when i put on the timing light to each wire i could tell something was wrong, also all my spark plugs were covered in black crap amd some oil too

thanks alot guys, come early june im buying a new crate motor, im gonna need alot more help when that comes.....
