Exactly what has been going on in my truck for a while, up until it finally pooped out on me here recently. Hoping to have some money for a distributor tomorrow. Thought I had the problem nailed down yesterday when I changed the number 1 and 2 plugs and it ran normally for all of a half way...
That's a very good point. When I first bought the truck it was running at almost 4* retarded. I also have one of those MAC dial timing lights and if I set the dial at 0 and mark at let's say 6* I have to turn the dial up to 12* to get the mark back to the 0 notch. Lately I've also developed a...
Will do, I'm not pretending to know a whole lot about running or anything, I just know overall it seems to run better throughout the rpm range there at 8*. Knock retard is still new to me as I've just started reading about it not long ago. It's probably pretty high at 8.

Oh I did, just had no way to get it that far. Found out later someone I worked with knew them and then they offered.

I've never uploaded a photo on here so hopefully this works. This is a photo of my old 94 1500 Z71 hauling an old gleaner combine to the scrap yard on a flatbed trailer. I believe the scale read just over 24K lbs.

If not torque converter bolts the flywheel may be cracked around the crank between the bolts like mine was. It started as a ticking just like yours did.

I had the same problem back in high school, turned out to be a cracked flywheel and ended up stuck on the toll road. :o
