OK I QUIT

This GD isuzu shit is driving me crazy, I did the 2.6 swap in my 89 pup. now I cant get the motor running, It ran before i took it out and did the bd. Its seamed to be out of time so i got it to Top Dead Center and put the distrubutor back in it fired and ran for a secon the nuthing, Ive tried retiming it like 20 time in the past 3 days.. im ready to give up. Heres a question so it dosent seam like you read this for nuthing,Are the 2.3 and the 2.6 blocks the same, I have the old 2.3 i pulled out and I havent even look at what is needed to get it running I had the 2.6 layin there so I swapped it. I guess im gonna go unswap them and rebuild the 2.3. I hate this shit

put in a 350 and be done..

Ok Im as dumb as I look, After ranting on here I went back out and moved the dis again and I got it started, I guess moving in and out of truck the vacume hoses are all screwed up and in the wrong places, I need someone who can help me find out where they all go. anyone with a 2.6???? If it wasnt timed right it wouldnt start right???, who can help me??

ok I got it running and it runs hard and strong, i go and try to time it with the light at 12* BTDC . Ok the mark on the crank pully is like on the side at the 8 o'clock position no where near the timing marks on the timing cover,WTF is up with this thing?

It sound like you have the dist out still, does it start fine or does it have a hard time starting.

yeah it was. I moved the dis, back 1 tooth and now I can get it to the 12* btdc mark. It still not running right Im sure its the vacume hoses. When I get them right ill time it again. Another question what is the thing on the valve cover that screws in and a vacume hose goes to? Is it like a PCV valve?
