Well that sucks. Your username seems more apropos than ever. Now would be a great time to do the compression and leakdown tests everyone kept suggesting. Did you ever pull the distributor out, and maybe it's a tooth off? Pull it and re-index it anyway and verify you have the plug wires in the right spot. http://cruiser54.com/?p=68 Note that some of the firing order diagrams out there are wrong. The one on Cruisers site is correct.

yeah i used his diagram to make sure I did my wires correctly when putting them on. I disconnected the exhaust before the cat, I'm going to disconnect it at the header, just for kicks and giggles, then will index the distributor. But we'll see. It's now pushing triple digit degrees and have put off a lot of other projects working on this. I'll give those other things a go this weekend as well, if that doesn't resolve it, it will just have to sit for the summer. I have too many other things on my plate to mess with it.

for sure, another member on here lives in Payson, his sister lives in my same square mile so we’ve been able to hang out a couple of times. Pinoy59. He’s pretty cool.
It’s been a crazy week, I was given emergency custody of my niece, and had to drive to New Mexico and back again, all while picking up an angsty teenager. Left at 2pm Wednesday got back Thursday at 3. So now we have 5 kids, and I am probably going to pick up a Jeep commander tomorrow so I can have something I shove all the kids into.
this was my company for a 7 hour car trip. I don’t think that phone left her hands.
