Alright, i went through a puddle, had all sorts of problems, yada yada yada.

Now, after replacing:Spark plugs (NGK G-Power)Spark plug wires (bosch)Dist. CapDist. RotorDistributor (re manufactured)a coila coil transistor pack

The truck is finally running, but i still have NO rpm gauge. When we get it started and running, the truck runs but you can tell that the truck is 'missing'. When i start out driving, and ease out of the clutch and give it gas it will want to jerk and shut off. If i give her hell down the road, giving it gas, it will start to miss and jerk around. Even after playing with the timing for over ~2 hours the truck is still missing.

Any ideas? Could the plugs be to much for the truck? They wern't 'high grade' or anything.

Truck FIXED! Turns out for WHATEVER reason, the distributor is 90 degrees off. Its hard to explain, I will make a diagram and a thread with a bunch of troubleshooting methods i used to fix the truck.

Along with a lot of little things to figure out what is wrong here and there.
