Hesitation completey at a loss

Well, with Schurkey on this one, fuel is good, you say sensors good, no vacuum leaks, etc so leaning towards ignition. Proper dist. installation, not 2 or 3 teeth off, no cracked porcelains on plugs, wires not shorting though jackets or boots, the fact that ignition and pick up coils can't be ohms tested and determined good.
Some new replacement stuff only last 2 or so years etc. As per Schurkey, is the advance coming in?.

Would it hesitate hard like that if I was a tooth seeing how it idles great?

I got it! Thanks to you guys I was a tooth off going clockwise. I was so deep into it that with the distributor being (nos) I wasn’t even lookin at the fact that I dropped it in wrong. Big difference, thanks again you guys for getting me out of the clouds!

Would suggest you get an rpm meter and reset timing agian, now you have it worked out.
Really great to here you figured it out.

The frustration aside, you now know your ignition system top to bottom.

You gotta love it when it all works out and runs correctly!

engine is timed at 0 spec.

I don't understand.

If the ignition timing was right at "0" "before", and it's still timed at "0" now, being off a tooth makes no difference except in the position of the distributor body.

Shouldn't change how the engine runs at all.

Any chance your distributor might be acting up. Did not see if you worked on that. These wear and main fix is just to replace.

It didn’t change anything. A day later it started doing the same ****.

All the components are good after checking for 100 times. I did not change anything, started acting up again a day later.

It actually started acting up a day later. I got excited for a win …….. again same stuff. But I have a solution that I will ask about on the body page. Damn I wish I didn’t love these trucks so much
