"Well the carb was the stumble back fire problem, now I'm dealing with warrentee work on the rebuilt carb. It failed smog so I had it checked out by a shop and they found the primary metering rod were jammed. So I sent the carb back to National…"

"it sounds more like the timing I would of changed to a dobble sprocket timing chain when it was out. also check the distributor cap for ware and or cracks."

"Well the carb to care of the problem. No more stumble of stalling. Kind freaked out when I put it on, I had the timing set by ear and figured I would reset the timing to factory spec's 8 degrees btdc. So I did and the truck ran great until I…"

"Jim, its cool if you copy my e-mail, im getting a facebook account set up soon, as steve said too much spam, glad to help and in this day and age of so much bad in the world its refreshing for me to see someone grateful for the help, i will let you…"

"Hey Steve, I have your @live.com one, I erased your Yahoo email address, because you said it didn't work, or that you canceled it, so I used the other one. Just wanted to let you know. It's cool with me if you send interesting things or…"

"Heya Steve, already have you in my email at the address shown. I was actually asking William if I could put him in my email, lol. Sorry I confused you on that. BTW Steve, where do you live? Like what state, not your address, lol. I live in Arizona.…"

"William, is it ok for me to copy/paste your email into my yahoo? I'm not a pain in the butt or anything, but once in a while I too get confused when working on my truck, and wouldn't mind an extra brain to help. You're a very…"

"steven, pull the valve cover on the #1 cyl side, and pull the plug, it still sounds like timing. Do the TDC thing one more time while someone bumps the motor, and watch the valves, as i described before. For now forget about the chain and gears, and…"

"Try advancing the timing a bit, until your hesitation gets better or worse, could also be your accelerator pump going bad or a vacuum leak, good luck and thanks for keeping us posted...Jim"

"Thanks William, So I had it right after all. It's amazing what you forget when you dont do this everyday. I pulled the front of the motor apart and checked the timing marks on the cam and crank.The timing is set on +4 just like I set it when I…"

"I had always thought that if the timing marks were pointing to each other, then all was fine. Just have to rtemember it's a 4 stroke engine, which gives you 2 chances to get it right. I usually plug the #1 until I feel the air being pushed out,…"

"something to remember guys, and gals, when you put the timing chain in with the dots lining up, dont install the distributor at #1 position because the cam timing will be firing at the #6 cylinder. rotate the engine another complete revolution and…"
