Today I tried splicing a couple wires together to get power to the coil during "cranking" and in the "run" position. I wired every thing back up and turned it over, now I can get it to start but it won't idle. So I am now gettiing spark but my timing may still be off. Could the distributer be off a tooth on the gear? Does the fact that it will run mean that I'm close to the timing mark and can adjust by turning the distributer?
Also I'm using a 2100 carb. It has the 1.08 Venturi and the jets that are in the carb have the same markings in them as the original carb so I didn't change them. Should I swap these or is it possible that these are the same jets?
If I could get the truck to stay running I could dial the carb and the ignition in.
