It wont start anymore dammit

WAY BACK AT THE FIRST OF THE POST U SAID THAT THE "MUFFLER" WAS SWOLLEN, DOES THE TRUCK STILL HAVE A CAT ON IT? IF SO, AND IT IS STOPPED UP, EVEN IF YOU ARE GETTING FIRE TO THE CYLINDERS, IF IT CAN'T EXHAUST THE GASSES FROM THE COMBUSTION STROKE, THEN YOU WILL CHOKE UP THE MOTOR AND IT WON'T RUN GOOD, OR AT ALL. THE
REASON I KNOW THIS IS MY CAT THAT ATTACHES TO THE EXHAUST MANAFOLD WAS STOPPED UP, AND THIS IS WHAT CAUSED THE HEAD GASKET TO BLOW OUT, AND ENGINE NOT TO RUN RIGHT. DOUBLE CHECK THE TIMING, AND DIZZY, THEN IF THE FACTORY CAT IS STILL THERE, SEPARATE THE EXHAUST PIPE FROM THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE CAT, AND LOOK TO SEE IF IT IS STOPPED UP.

JUST MY 1 1/2 CENTS, HOPE U GET IT RUNNING!

whats the scoop? let us know what goin on

I havent checked the cat that attaches to the manifold, but the cat thats under the trck is hollowed out really good. My starter burnt out on it as well, and I got a new one. When I installed the new starter and tried to crank it it made a funny sound, I dont even know how to describe it. So before I went to mess up anymore parts I called my ex door neighbour who is retired mechanic and he does work now for cash, so he will take over from here, hes supposed to come look at it tooday and try to fix it here or tow it to a shop. I gave up, seems the more I touch it, the more stuff goes wrong. haha.
