did u check your coil while cranking it over? if its getting fuel then it could be coil / pick up for the coil or bad module, may not be getting 12 volts
the factory did not come out with locked out vac cans , now the the vac cans have diff hg settings for diff applications of engines therefore limiting the timing
if u look there is no place were i said for the op to do this to his truck nor did i say anything abought coming from the factory like this get your facts streight
this has nothing to do with the op truck, u said hooking to full manifold vac is wrong, well u are wrong u need to look up ported verses full manifold vac and get some knowledge before u tell the op that is the wrong way no bs just facts sorry i touch a nerve lol
all my small blocks 305 and 350 are street driven on manifold vacuum advance on 87 oct, no pinging and running 12 btdc , i have a stop on my vac can that limits the can to 10 degrees so i will listen to a mechanical engineer that worked at 3 of the biggest corp
I found this article while searching for good tech information on the comparison of ported vacuum versus manifold vacuum. I don't know the author so I can't give valid credit. ChevelleStuff.Net doesn't indorse either method and there is a lot of discussion as to which is better. So, I'll present...
how are your batt terminal ends , it sounds like u got a bad connection, what does the main cable look like going to the starter , charge your batt up and load test it, if its 4 or 5 years old it may be going bad u need to make sure
how is your batt is it new or old. you can charge it up and then load test it that will tell u if your batt is bad then check your grounds and check connection at the starter .
