..ok after finding the REAL problem today.. truck runs again even better then I had hoped...issue was ground wire at distributor (three wire plug) was broken, but not noticeable, and 12v was cracked badly, had only one strand passing current,, so rewired plug new wires and reconnected to main harness and bam,, fired right up even with out #1 plug installed,, in fact I was just trying a test crank and it fired up in half a rotation. SO lesson today kiddos ,, look for the simple answer .. not sure how I missed that ,, aside from each time I unplugged the dizzy I let the plug fall back behind the rest of the harness, not surprised the condition of the wires considering the rest of the chop job on the harness. Ill try and get some pic so you can see what a mess I inherited, SO yea truck is running drove it a little down the block today, trans stall test 2500 -3000 in drive passed stall in revers 2500- 3000 in passed, felt like it shifted into 2nd.. but I still need to adjust the linkages,, and fine tune the shifter, but its running.. I did find also the crank is a mess keyway is smashed pretty badly,, and I had to replace the crank gear. .. as it was smashed as well ,,, key was rolled on its side for a long long time,, and had left an indentation on the crank keyway as well as the crank gear... I may locktite the crank gear,, to help hold it all in place,, BUT first I need to find out what the crank bolt should be torqued to .. I am seeing in the specs (94ft lbs.) .. retroactive but 57 to 65ft lbs for 89 -95 years....so need some clarification before I plant the crank gear indefinitely .
Much thanks for all the pics and help with clarifications.. have a happy wife right now being as im am one step closer to getting her little blue tracker on the road.
