When it does start, it's bearly running with my foot on the floor. Changeing a timing chain shouldn't be this difficult! Hey Goat, if you could check on a distributor and ignition system so I can eliminate my computer, that would be great! Assuming you didnt remove the ditributor to change the chain, I wonder if someone previous had the distributor set to compensate for the slack chain and now with a tight chain its out of time? Just a thought......... Outcast Dodge guy.

Put a fresh set in and it she fired right up! I guess the first clue should have been she's been running rich for a long time. Anyway, made some adjustments and she runs much better. I say only 80% because it's as good as I can hope for a 20 year old truck with (I hope) 140,000 miles and a junk bbd 2bbl carb. I really hate those carbs. Never seen a good one. Wish I had a 4bbl. Anyway, thanks for all the advice. There is really a great bunch of guys here. Have on me!

It all started out in Dallas at 7 this morning, had 4 slabs of granite loaded on a trailer, was goin down 635, and a slab broke, scattered all over the hiway, cars dodgin left and right, nobody hurt, but lost a 1000 dollar slab... Then I went and got another one, made 3 other stops to pick up a few odds and ends. I stopped on I-35 to check the load at a picnic area, and locked the keys in the truck...truck running, with my cell phone in there too... borrowed a cell to call the office, and they got me a lockout guy to come let me in the truck... arrrrgh.....and then I went to OKC for one more stop...made it back to Amarillo at nine thirty tonite...arrgh! 84 D150 440/727 79 /6 swb D150 1964 A100 window van.

LOL Back when I lived in Garland I was cruzin down 635 one time on the Honda 500-4 bike I had, when a truck fifty yard in front and one lane over blew a tire on his trailer. I think I only got hit by two little chuncks of rubber but I nearly needed to go and change my underwear.

Truth has no agenda, but those with an agenda make their own truth. Some of us are so open minded they only see their View
