Figured the guys might be getting irritated by my posting questions and opinions in the lounge. lol
Here is my newest issue: what sounds like a misfire only on the left bank.
I haven't confirmed this theory yet, but I will tomorrow and that is since I have the dizzy hooked up to full manifold vacuum, it's raising the idle and causing that side to miss for some reason. I can't hear the "putt putt" of the exhaust when the truck is in gear, with full vacuum, but I can in park or neutral. I'm going to change it to ported vacuum tomorrow.
Here are what the plugs look like:
Plug no. 1:
Plug. no. 3:
Plug no. 5:
Plug no. 7:
Plug no. 2:
Plug no. 4:
Plug no. 6:
Plug no. 8:
They don't look too bad, but the carbon patterns are weird.
Any thoughts? Obviously the left bank plugs are first.
