Found it!!!!

Broken wire inside the distributor!!

I went and bought a new dist. cap, rotor button, coil, and wires. And then found the broken wire after all that didn't work! Lol

Wish I could say it runs like a top but it's missin and back firing some. But it'll idle forever and rev up without dying so that ain't near as bad as what I've been going through..

Re:

Damn! I thought sirely the diaphragm was it! Same exact symptoms mine had. I also remember saying the exact same thing about threatening to burn it to the ground when I was working on it. Maybe you will get it slicked out, sounds like you've narrowed down most of it.

Might need to adjust the main mixture screw. Maybe check timing?

Dwill817 · Mar 31, 2016

Timing is good. Hanging out around 10-12..

I'll have to mess with the mixture screw still..

I start my 7 on tonight so it'll be slow to no progress the next week..

Nice looking build so far. Good luck on the Propane issue.

Thanks.. I follow your build on on TW and prolly a few other sites. I just don't post as much on those..

I like the Hardline folks!

Thanks!

Doing a compression test tomorrow. I haven't even touched the truck since the other night.. I hope I can find the misfire pretty easy and my compression is good!

Dwill817 · Apr 3, 2016

Well the compression check as follows:

1- 112
2- 90
3- 130
4- 130

Looks like it's coming out..

Dwill817 · Apr 3, 2016

If anyone has a 20r head, I'd really like to have one!

Dwill817 · Apr 10, 2016

Okay so I found a 20r head, 260 cam, header, and 20r intake. Should be on its way tomorrow or Tuesday.. Guy couldn't ship it over the weekend & wanted to wait till his PayPal cleared completely which is understandable. Hopefully gonna pep things up a little bit till I can get around to getting a turbo on this thing :driving:

I spontaneously ordered a Nikon d3300 DSLR camera w/ two lenses (15-55mm & 55-200mm) last night!! It's supposed to be here tomorrow! Free one day shipping from Amazon! Really excited about it and I'm hoping that I can take some quality photos now! May even come and take pics and videos of some of you guys!

Dwill817 · Apr 14, 2016

I cleaned up my photobucket and jacked up all my pictures.. :gay:

Dwill817 · Oct 31, 2016

Well its been like 5 months since I've touched this thing.. I got married in May, started school back, and was working two jobs all summer. Plus its been too dang hot to mess with anything and I've been buying guns like crazy and shooting up a bunch of ammo so this sorta got threw on the backburner.

Anyways, its started to cool off some and I've been riding shotgun with some buddies and I've got my motivation back and a little time so maybe I can button this thing up and get to riding some..

I've made a little progress lately..

Bent up a shock tower and got those in. I cut off all the old brackets off the frame and got those all cleaned up. So from the cab back, its ready enough to ride. I'll either do some tube work or hang bedsides once I get it going again.

Its all painted and purdy now, but I haven't taken any pictures.

I've been working on getting my motor back together this morning.. Got this far:

Might get to crank it up on Wednesday if I'm lucky..

Yep, since I went to Harlan this past weekend, it got me back in the mood for wheeling.

Dwill817 · Nov 1, 2016

I rode along at HPO with my buddy and it put me back in the mood.. Maybe I can actually get something done this time.

I saw the videos.. your truck is lookin good!
