Hey guys havent been on here in a while because i let the truck sit for about a year while i was focusing a lot on my work and future. But anyways within the last two week ive put a weber 32/36 in to get the truck to stay running because after multiple times trying to mess with the stock carb i gave in and bought a weber. I put that on and it seemed to stay running but still had a sluggish start and ran wierd. So initially i thought of the timing. Keep in mind i didnt know anything about timing a truck until last week.... So i was just pulling the distributor out and spinning a gear until it sounded better..... my bad lol. I eventually put the crank and the cam in
TDC and set the distibutor to #1 position and low and behold it started without a hesitation, it was beautiful. Then i decided i wanted to put the pacesetters on so i ordered them and set off taking the old exhaust recirculation tubes off and busted half the nipples off the manifold so i left them open. Now i got back in the truck and it started up.... once. Then it shut off. Now i cranked it over it started for a second and then would shut off.
This is where my question is. When i tried cranking it over again there was a loud popping noise from in the dash followed by heavy smoke that smelled like burnt hair rolling out of the dash. Now it cranks over still but it wont start. What do you guys think this could be?? I know its getting fuel. But im thinking maybe something in the ignition switch control the spark, maybe????
Hopefully yall can help me every other question ive had was always answered from another post.
Thank you in advance and any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
