I am not a mechanic, so please try to explain your ideas more simply if you can, and please bare with me..
a couple days ago we were messing with the timing trying to get the truck to run better.. we synced it in at what we think is 10 degrees BTDC, and it didn't run any better, but it ran.. and today the truck barely started and ran super poorly. so we checked the plugs which were all fouled, cleaned them, and as we continued trying to start the truck the plugs would become full of gas, fouling again. Eventually we got the truck to start once, but decided it was running so poorly we'd better look at the timing thing again.
so we cleaned the plugs, adjusted the plug gap to .035 (is that right?) and tried again, spraying gas and starting fluid into the throttle valve. We got a nasty backfire fireball somehow and took a coffee break. Came back and now all the plugs are dry. engine stumbles to a start and the timing is way advanced somehow. turn truck off to turn distributer..
