Sorry for not checking in lately. Coolant OK. I do use addatives and do know what the CDR is from reading on the board and have drained water from filter.
Update: Checked the mechanical advance on the IP and it was sticking. Lubricated and it seems to be fine now. I started it and it ran great for one day after sitting for three months. Next morning same condition back agian. It starts hard and runs on about 6 cylinders with clouds of blue smoke not white. Then I start driving and hit 2200 RPM and the truck takes off like a rocket, blue smoke and missing instantly gone! Then it has a lot of blue smoke when about 1500 RPM cruising under light load. Step on the gas and smoke is gone. Let off gas and smoke is gone. Stop and idle and blue smoke appears and has slight miss ( not like at start up).
Someone local said it was the IP and I can see the one on the truck is not original. If that is what the problem is, where do I get one, what's the best brand, and how much $$ are they?
Please help I need to get this thing back on the road agian!
