hey all, I'm new to these forums but I like what I see already. I'm actually posting for my dad, its his Ram...I have a F150 with a straight 6 and a 4 speed. what's happening is when the truck has been driven a while and is warm, it will spit and sputter and sometimes backfire. it is a 1bbl carburetor and the truck is all stock with 110k original miles...any help would be greatly appreciated! |

I'd say start by checking your timing. And report back with what you find. |

I haven't done any checks yet, my dad has the truck out of town so I haven't had access to it... |

Does the truck still have the Lean Burn ignition system on it? Rick |

my 83 D-150 had a consistent miss at idle,, when a timing light was put on it,, the timing mark when under the strobe light would "hunt" ,,,move 5 to 8 degrees with every hit. I did this probably a year and a half ago,, pulled out the lean burn distributor and wiring and put in a 1960 170 ( as identified by SSD) distributor that I got for free out of a salvage yard pile ,, I did put in new points and cap and condenser,, kept the original coil,, now the timing mark is rock solid,, with the lean burn when I would wind the motor above 3000 rpm, it sounded like a rock crusher, with the old 170 distributor it pulls easily to 4500,, not fast , but it does pull,,, starts on the first hit,, no miss at idle,, I have all the stuff to put an HEI on,, but it runs so well on this old POS distributor, I have just left it alone. regards |
