having truble gitting 350 to run right keeps missing , I think i need to pull the distributer and start from scatch, but never node it befor, please help me

You might take a look at this old thread Got Time?? to start with. If it's running, and just missing, I don't think you should try pulling the distributor.

If you didn't pull it before it started running bad and can't set the timing then chances are it won't help to pull it now. It could be your timeing chain. or any number of other things what is your curent problem. backfires? won't start? We could use a clue

P.S. Welcome to the forum hope we can help you.

backfires, hesitates, deisels out, idles rough. just can't get it right


P.S. I have my father inlaw looking at it, he drag races every year for fun and money. thanks for the advice and hope to hear back from all of u soon

sounds like it might need to be advanced a little bit if its dieseling, time to pull out a timing light and find out

That is a fantastic artical pelligrini, thank you. I will be going to school tonight and I will let you know of my results.
